How long were you at Merrill before you transitioned over to being a wholesaler? Did you become an internal first or did you go directly into the field?
can you elaborate on the role as a FI wholesaler??
Could you describe your overall experience as an FA?
What does your schedule look like on a daily basis?
What are some key personality traits that an FA must possess to thrive in such environment?
How are your hours on a typical week?
Have you witnessed or do you feel it is possible for an Ops guy to break into PWM?
Would appreciate your response. Thanks in advance.
