They allow you to do financial planning and "managed money" along with the life/annuity options with a full slate of outbrokerage if necessary. Great compensation package as well as the ability to own and sell your book of business down the road.

I love it, but I haven’t experiences anything else. You don’t have to sell insurance if you don’t want. You really get to run your practice however you want for the most part. We have an extensive outbrokerage. I sell more non Pru life than Pru. I focus mostly on managed money than anything.

Pru is not the place for individual stocks or bonds though.

I know a handful of Pru guys that have their 7, but they use it for ETFs and just to hold existing stock. Active stock trading just isn’t very cost effective for the client here.

@Pru2 you right, they told me I can get all the education and licenses I want but not many advisors get into the individual stocks, is more advising and managing plus the other important products.

Where are you guys located?

I’m seriously contemplating taking a software development boot camp. For those who hire new software developers, does it make you stand out if you get your certificate from a university instead of a coding academy (like coding dojo or something)? I noticed the universities are a bit more expensive but is it worth the price to have a university on your resume or does it not really matter?
