Received offers from PNC and UBS. Same position. Same benefits. Purely seeking opinions on the companies. Previous experience at EJ. Left to get away from outside sales nature and isolation.

UBS all the way

Worked at both. PNC is the safer bet with the lower ceiling. UBS is going to be eat what you kill unless you are partnering with a team.

Neither. Go independent so you are not shackled and can be in a position to give the best advice to clients.

What’s the position? Are you just trying to decide from being in a bank vs workhouse or is the pnc position outside of a bank?

Both centralized financial Advisor roles. Simply comparing cultures, size, scope, and atmosphere at regional Bank vs global investment firm

Pnc eats alot of commission that they don't tell you about ask both for a commission sheet on all products the grid is only part of the story also ask them to give you a deep dive of the books

I’m at PNC now in the branches. It’s been an enjoyable company to work for. While the commission may not compare to B/D like UBS or EJ, stress is relatively low especially if you’re centralized. I assume you are walking into a book or bringing one?

Should I refer my SO to Google?
(Does she have a real shot?)

She's a Project Manager at a global auto parts manufacturer.
Her role is 30% technical, 70% business (meaning she has good problem solving and stakeholder mgmt skills).
5 YOE+Degree at a top engineering school in Europe
My experience at Google made her interested in joining the company, but we never really acted on it.
Could she be a good fit?
If so which areas/orgs?

(Also, are there any rules against it?)

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
