hi

I just lost my job at a bulge bracket firm after 24 years. I don't know if I want to continue in this industry, what I'd really like is to talk to some other people in my position, I don't really see a group here for out of work FAs. Does anyone know if there is such a forum out there? Thanks

Hi, also is there a group anywhere for retiring FAs? That's a possibility as well.

In what area of the country are you located? Will you be in a position to bring a book of business with you, or did they boot you out unprepared?

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
