taking all suggestions......i left the bank channel because of internal politics reasons that worked adversely to my favor and i went to an insurance co. that WANTS to be considered as a financial services company, but they are DREAMING.....i am looking to get back into the full service brokerage channel but have really only worked in the bank channel. I have heard from ML and M/S and was referred between friends to check out Lincoln Financial. I have never worked in a wire house and not opposed to the idea, but i am wondering probably where is the best place for someone to go who is looking to start up a book because i couldn't bring over my clients from my previous bank because of the non-compete clause they made everyone sign. In essence, i am starting back over. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks..

I have a suggestion...tell us the truth. You got fired. Noone in this business leaves on their own volition without somewhere to go.

Wow!!! ladies and gentlemen, we actually have someone who at some point in time took a NASD test WITHOUT knowing how to read..People like you marvel me in how you get through life. I wrote that i went to an insurance company that pretends to deal with financial services. That said, i would really like an intelligent opinion or a suggestion. Whoever let their 10yr old come on here and make comments, please password protect your computer so idiotic comments are held to a minimum...

LFG is going through major issues because of the merger with Jefferson Pilot.  Many unhappy people and they are getting hit with too many expenses.

I thought you made it pretty clear.

If you are already licensed and have some experience, but a good explanation as to why you have no book(i.e. work on polishing that up for interviews) you will likely be a very attractive candidate to many wirehouse branch managers…at least you’ve proven you can pass the test and have some experience in production…
