Maybe if you stay at WB you can be more then a 300-400k broker. Naw i guess not. You would actually have to do some work.

ROFLMAO

Hydeho,
 Please read more carefully. I never disclosed what my production is. I was simply making an observation that over 1/2 of AGE brokers do $300k or under and what affect this merger is likely to have on them.
 If you wanna get into a personal cyber-altercation, I’m not interested. I’ve wasted WAY too much time with that here in the past.

I will add… I just received my Pro-Forma Report from LPL (I await the same from RayJay) and I don’t care what your production is, it’s no contest. Hell, it ain’t even the same sport. We are all in this to grow our businesses. Do you want to do it to benefit your wirehouse or your family?

That is the stuff.  You have to own your book.  In writing.

As a person that went through a merger a few years ago all I can say is run and don't look back. When they say things will be the same they are always lying.

During a merger is a perfect time to convince your clients to leave because you can tell them you are leaving because the company is doing things you don't agree with and not in their best interest. You are the hero for saving them from the awful company.

This my 1st post because it took me 2 years to leave after a merger and it was the most miserable 2 years of my career so I wanted to warn others.

I don't know that anyone is saying "things will the same". Danny acknowledges that not everyone will like everything coming down from above. I don't hear a lot of negatives from fcs that work at WB which gives me some sense of comfort.

Sounds like we have a manager here.  Don’t worry your secret is safe.
