Thanks, wanted a change. No it's a different branch. What about you, always an FA there? |

I started as an FA at EJ and then moved to a bank.
Licensed banker to FA is a solid career progression. There are many current and former bank reps on this board that you can learn from.

How do you like it? Any suggestions? I'm starting out pretty decent but always want more and always willing to listen to advice. I hope I can get to know some of those people as well as others. Thanks |

There are positives and negatives like anything else, but I don't think it is as bad as an outsider would say it is. If you can avoid the corporate bull and focus on building a loyal client base it can be rewarding. Whatever your situation make sure at all times you are selling YOURSELF and not the bank. |
