I’m an investment advisor too…based on my experience, quality investment advisory is still in very early stages in India (unlike developed countries). People are not showing much interest to pay investment advisory fees to get a quality advise (definitely it will pay back with greater ROI)..if anyone needs investment advisory or retirement advisory, pm me..

It's not beginning,
I am doing this since 2011, I have closed demat accounts many time, and reopened it with many brokerage houses.
I have investments into Mutual funds, and some direct Equities too.
But in the past my heart beats used to go with the flow of market ticks during the trading hours of NSE and MCX.
Now I know only one thing,
All sort of fundamental/technical research doesn't work , Trading is actually a behavioral skill, and you will have to fight only with your imotion.

didn't paid my education loan during initial days of my career

the main partner I work for hasn’t been giving me consistent enough work (or type I want) so while I work for him still on some deals, I’ve had to go and get other work from other partners. He doesn’t regularly check in on what I’m working on. He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.
