welcome. are you looking at staying in the wirehouse world, or going independent?

I am looking at staying in a wirehouse/regional broker dealer. Don’t want the headaches of going Indy...at least not yet

I would suggest expressing what you view the "headaches" to be.  Some are overblown.  

There are people who just want to turn on and turn off the light, and make $$$, not worrying about what they are giving up for that peace of mind.  That might be you.

Then take the biggest check for smallest handcuffs.  Have a contract lawyer look over the offer because of all this crap with the broker protocol BS going around.  Find an office with some old guys so you can inherit clients.

Prepare your clients now by making sure they are working with you, vs the firm.

Which firm are you with now?

WFA has big deals now. If you aren’t at Wells and want to know more, you can PM me or ask on here.
ML still has big deals even though they say they aren’t recruiting actively, they still are.
RJ employee channel has deals. They won’t tell you what their deals are until you jump through a lot of hoops and they want you to do a home office visit.

Stifel has deals but they aren’t that great.
Not sure about RBC or any of the other firms.

Met with ML and they no longer do upfronts but instead offer a salary the first year as you transfer your book. Ameriprise and RJ are in the running. Like RJ’s culture but I sense Ameriprise will offer a higher upfront. Thoughts?

Remember what they give you with one hand is taken away with the other.

AMP employee channel definitely offers more than RJ, but RJ is a much better firm.

4 months ago they offered me 125% upfront.

Will be getting official offers from AMP and RJ in the next few days. Curious what makes RJ better than AMP? Payouts?

I am not familiar with AMP too much, but RJ has a good platform and they have a great back-office. They don't have riversource, which is a plus. I feel RJ has a better reputation, at least in my area. That's my 2 cents.
