Ladies and gentlemen. I am a professional (of another industry) who recenty passed my exams to be an Investment Advisor Rep. Since I'm a part-timer at this and already quite busy (and pretty satisfied) in my existing profession I am struggling a bit to find a good fit. I was hired and sponsored by a firm I was a client with for many years but their minimum production requirements, given poor back-office support, seemed daunting. Recently I was picked up by another firm (that shall remain nameless) that seems much more bent on recruting than selling. I'm not very interested in "building a team". What would be a good option for an educated, licensed, part-timer? Thanks in advance for any honest advice.

So what is your question? You said: "What would be a good option for an educated, licensed, part-timer? " but it's not clear what you mean by option.. What are you asking?

What I am asking is: If I want to use my 66 and 7, work part time, and make a little cash ($30K or more annually, for argument's sake) what kind of company should I approach? Would some local RIAs be interested in hiring a licensed part-timer? If you have any experience or knowledge about this please advise. Thanks.

This is not something you do part time. Very few firms will want to have you as part time rep...they want your full commitment. This is not that job bro

Life after wirehouse? 1

After 18 months in the industry, all at WFA, I will be leaving the firm. I have not had great success at a wirehouse. It started well in the apprentice period and the first 6 months, but I missed my hurdle at the 9 month mark and have been scraping by ever since. After taking a further look at the requirements for the next 3 years, I realize that my head is going to be on the chopping block for most of that time barring someone in my network hitting the Powerball. I take full responsibility for this, but I will add that my firm has offered me little, if any, support at the local level....More
