Looking for a financial advisor…
2
Hi all. I have yrs of experience in finance, never fired. Took an opportunity presented to me by a recruiter that seemed. like a good career move and was terminated after six weeks for “performance“. I was still onboarding and did not yet have full access to all systems. There was no PIP. I was still in training. After 8 years and working for a regulator for 3 I am blindsided. Can anyone advise?
Our VP mandated that all cameras must be on for every single internal Zoom call. No one is happy. We’re supposed to be hybrid now, but this feels like a passive-aggressive way to make sure we’re sitting rigidly at our desks in full business casual at home. Was never like this when we were fully remote. Is this a reasonable expectation for a modern workplace?
Ask yourself the following question about FAs. If financial advisors are good at financial decisions, good at financial guidance, good at investing: why are they doing talking to you for a living, why aren't they rich?
Ubs1 after six years of derivatives in CS I know the FAs are scammers.
They aren't worth a shi*e. Post a query here would be a wise thing. What do you prefer? Property? Passive? Active? Precious metals?
Using an fa is paying someone else for discipline that most individuals lack
FA1 is right Meta - most people talk about staying all cash, or FOMOing into meme stocks, which ends up losing them money. That’s the benefit of a FA - a steady hand adhering to sound principles. That said, just like there are great real estate agents in a sea of bad ones, or good recruiters in a sea of bad ones, the same applies to Financial advisors.
Have you ever heard of the idiom... those who can do, those who can't, teach. FAs are fake teachers because they don't know jack. I learned this the hard way.
Hey OP, former advisor here. What are you looking for in an advisor? This is a big question as everyone does things a bit different. What is your "why?"
