NikeTalk....What do you do for a living?

 
Care to expound on this? What part of financial services and what do you do exactly? Call Center stuff?
In-bound call center.  I take support calls from financial advisors all day.   Really makes you feel sorry for ppl who say they have "a guy managing their money," because some of "those guys" don't know [fecal matter].

Fam thats exactly where I started, I know exactly how you feel. Call Centers are the worst thing ever, theres next to no room for upward mobility or increasing your skillset. Just pick up the phone and answer the same question you answered 100 times before.

Thats true on the retail side the majority of those guys dont know anything, the game changes when you get to the high net worth institutional space. Its hard in the retail space to want to learn things because most of their clients dont have enough money to make it needed to want to know anything. Most of those people should in fact be managing their own money but fear of the markets prevents them from doing so.

Is your firm offering opportunities to get licensed? Get your Series 7 and 66 and LEAVE

I have my 24 too. You trying to go to Compliance? Thats where my head was at initially but the front office is where the money is. Every firm needs compliance guys though, especially with things getting more stringent by the month it seem

Right on! got another brother on here!

Which local?

I'm an inside apprentice out of local 332.

I should've been an electrician. The low starting wage and having to go to college as well as technical school discouraged me. Not to mention, the 6 month furlow that was going on.

Time after time, I've witnessed how much electricians have each others back. That kind of brotherhood doesn't seem to exist with carpenters these days, least not in NYC. :smh:
