First. Congrats. 
Second. What were you doing before? Saw you mentioned your a career changer. 
Third. I'm shocked they gave you a hundred thousand. Shocked. You have no idea how lucky you are to start out with that much. 

No doubt. I made 80k - a 50k cut from my previous salary. Sucked. 


I came in 2019 as career changer and started at $100k - was a cut in pay, but supposedly $100k was as high as they go - at least at that time. Know several people who started at $100k - depended on salary at prior job.

NajaESG - if you are just taking exams now - focus on that. Whatever GK you get - it will serve to get you experience and comfortable with "talking the talk." It will do very little to help you get new assets and/or meet your requirements. 

They probably haven't told you yet that your requirements of new assets in, is on a 4-month rolling average.....that being said, pace your "easy" money in (relatives, friends, etc.) for when you have trouble getting true new money in the door to meet requirements. I brought in a couple of million in the first couple of months - of "easy" money, then covid hit, it would have helped to have had that easy money when covid slowed brought things to a halt.

Just started with EDJ as a newbie Advisor this month in Virginia. I am a career changer coming from a military and then Strategy Consulting background.

My offer was 100k base salary, with standard scale down over 4-5 years. 

I am already in the office I will most likely stay at in a multi-FA (two advisor) situation, and the advisor I am paired with is a level 5 with 50-60m in assets.

I am interested in knowing what my Goodknight size will be? I get the sense that they were only going to give me 5-6m based off of my hiring conversations, but couldn't get them to be solid on that number. From what I have read on the forums, such a small GK is a bit of a joke. Is there room to negotiate a higher amount, and how do I go about doing that?

NajaESG




Well, give us an update baby!  What was your goodknight and how it is it going?

I don't have an official value for the GoodKnight yet. I am taking my Insurance exams on Saturday then go through our KYC process before I am fully in production "Can Serve." After which I will go through the GK process and find out how much trash or gold they will give me.

Passing the 7 and 66 was no joke.

Curious if the prospecting playbook has changed at all. Are they encouraging you to go door knocking?

I thought the same.  Had to read it twice to be sure I saw it correctly.

Najaf,

 Those cheap fuckers better give you at least 20mm goodnight. You're worth it. May have to negotiate with them. Remember,  they recruited YOU.

ok....so mission is being....somewhat genuine ......but i have mentored many on this issue and he does make a point.....when it really comes down to it they absolutely need you more than you need them.  Be bold in making the right choice.  You will have many people claiming that what you're getting is gold when its crap.  Be smart and ask very very hard questions.

You guys didn't hear the news about Edward Jones?

They want to be fiduciary as fuck. They're finally rolling out technology the rest of the industry had 20 years ago, like Ford proud to announce the 2023 lineup will have power steering and power windows. "Look at all these cool accessories!"

Wonder if they still give out the Edward Jones and You brochure to white people, and the You and Edward Jones brochure to black people. Separate but equal matters to a company stuck in its heritage from 100 years ago.

Fuck.
