Take a look at Raymond James and AGE.  But, ask about TRAINING.  Like, ask for an outline of the program.  You must have good training to succeed.

Do you think that any firm in Wall Street is going to tell a potential new hire that they do not provide training?



Having never been through a Wall Steet training program before how
would one know if what they were receiving was great, good, fair,
mediocre?



What should be looked for in an outline of training?

Since many people have not gone through more than one formalized training program, it is difficult to determine if one is better than another.  The primary measure of a training program is the quality of brokers/advisors it produces.  But, I do think that people can have a opinion to whether or not a program was beneficial to them or not.  If someone is successful and they say that the training program benefitted them, can we not give them the benefit of the doubt??

Absolutely.  I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I benefited from my sixteen weeks in New York at the beginning of my career.

However, I had no idea if I had been through great training or not when I left that class.

I knew I had had a wonderful time in New York.  I knew I had really enjoyed spending a day with a specialist on the NYSE.  I knew I had met some guys who would be friends for years.  I knew that I had missed my wife on the weekends we were not given a plane ticket home.

But what I did not know was if I was really prepared to make it or not at what I had been hired to do.

It is ridiculous that the RJF airhead who posts on this website thinks she got good training, or is even remotely secure in the career.
