Wells Fargo Investment Management specialist
Hi all,
I recently received an offer for the senior investment management specialist with Wells Fargo Private Bank. Good pay in low cost of living city after a year in consulting. What is this position about? Good one to move to portfolio manager role? Are those good way to get true investment management experience or I will be pigeonholed? I'm not familiar with WF Private Bank at all and have no clue about investment management but would be happy to leave consulting.
Got an offer to interview from WF recruiter on linkedin. The interview was 100% fit based. We clicked with my interviewers and they gave me an offer the same day. They all have 7 and 66 series but told me I don't need those since it's a fiduciary role. The description is below.

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Just to add quick update for those who might be interested. I really love this role. A lot to learn and there is a clear path to portfolio strategist role who makes decisions and manages billions of dollars. Pay is very good and people are relaxed. Nobody works more than 50 hours a week based on their schedules from outlook. 3 days out of 5 work from home. People wear khakis and unbuttoned shirts when in the office and suits when meet with clients. I got to meet retired CEOs and present them decks as a part of the portfolio strategist team as well as pension funds for counties, cities and schools. Most of them dont even look at the decks that I just started to learn how to put together. Most of those portfolio strategists and managers came from the role I am in. It seems however that the pay tops around $250k for them based on the lunch conversations. It sounds like a life pulling $250k while working 50 hrs a week max.
