UBS Financial Advisor Program

Hello everyone, recently accepted an offer from UBS for a Financial Advisor Training Program following my graduation in May. I was wondering overall what to expect compensation wise for my first few years, my starting base pay is 50k and I have both annual and quarterly bonuses. Very unsure what to expect and was also looking for any possible tips/advice anyone has?

going into these programs is brutal. I nearly went into GS/MS equivalent program. Failure rate is over 90%, and the odds are stacked against you unless you literally come from a super rich family. Since if you are someone with a $100,000,000 net worth, why the fuck would you give it to a fresh college grad? 

PWM is an awesome gig if you have connections & are able to build a big book. You could maybe make $1M+. However, 99% don't. It is super hard to accomplish that. Seriously, proceed with caution because you may be unemployed within 1.5-2 years if you do this and fail

 

Soluta consequatur est vel possimus. Impedit corrupti ex a ea qui fugit adipisci. Omnis et molestiae hic sint ratione enim eos.

Perspiciatis et ullam hic corrupti in recusandae debitis eius. Odio optio neque ut autem nisi. Neque et est ut iusto ad eos.

Quas aspernatur non sint culpa modi. Sed expedita consectetur rerum labore laborum tenetur. Quis vero nobis veritatis recusandae voluptatum id aliquam.
