Retention role turned acquisition, retention AND risk management. 5 years in at company, 15 years finance experience, Jan will be 6 years in advising. No ability to build my own book in sight. I’m remote and unable to go in the physical office. $130k salary between base and bonus no longer cutting it for my family needs. Maybe I’ve got it made, but I’m also drowning every day. Working in the evenings to catch up. Humble me with options please.

$130k and not making it? Seems to me you need to adjust your lifestyle to your paycheck. Just my opinion making it work on <100k with wife kids and grandkids.

You may not like this, but perhaps it’s time to find a place where to build a book. I did turn down Fidelity because of their Hamster Wheel comp structure and have become a bank advisor. I am still grinding but in less than one year I have quickly exceeded their draw/guarantee, which was $100k/yr. Not to shabby for a place that will feed you leads and offer plenty of support…I think a pivot could really help: you’ll take a pay cut initially but within 3 years you’ll be in a much better place, with 2x or 3x the pay you get now, more flexibility, and a book of business that pays residuals. Just my 2 cents.

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?

I’m trying to quantify/apply value to the work I do in plain dollars and cents.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Need some advice. Ive been with my GF for 3.5 months now. I’ve caught my GF in multiple lies regarding her sexual/relationship history. When caught, her first reaction is anger at me for asking about her past too much, etc. but eventually she becomes quite sorry and apologetic. She says I shouldn’t care about her past, but I feel that it is important, and I communicate my questions as soon as they come up. I really like her, and I know I could be less curious, but the lying hurts. Thoughts?
