I will be graduating in December and have secured a job as a financial advisor in my hometown. They are sponsoring me to get my series 7 and 66 (I have to pay the fees) and I am starting with them after I graduate but I have not officially signed with them yet. I have decided that I would like to move across country to Florida to be with my girlfriend and have found that they have an office in the city there. What do you guys think...would it be wrong to ask them if I could switch offices?





If you are completely
If you are completely agnostic about the town you build a financial advisory business in, you don't have a plan to build assets and have a 99% chance of failing. So, I don't think it matters if you ask for a transfer.

Depends entirely on the firm.
Depends entirely on the firm. Some places would be totally cool with it, others might ask you to re-interview at the office you want to transfer to, still others might just show you the door.
PS: How are they "sponsoring" you if you haven't signed yet?
