Vantaggi
Great opportunity to learn from some of the hardest working, most intelligent and successful people in the industry. Most if not all people within the wealth management division that I actively work with (team/bankers/management/other associates) are direct about work and non-passive. There’s really no sugar coating a lot of what we handle b/c time is almost always of the essence. I tend to prefer the no BS attitude (and everyone obviously remains professional).
Svantaggi
Within WM there’s probably not a whole lot of upward movement (especially outside of NYC) unless you eventually want to become and advisor and/or you out the hours in outside of work to build yourself up professionally via financial designations/certifications. Same story goes for pay.
