Financial Advisor Consultant Jobs

whats the differece between a financial consultant/representative who works at a fidelity brokerage house (or any brokerage firm) and a financial advisor who works with New York Life, Met Life, Northwestern Mutual etc. I'm searching for financial consulting jobs with brokerage firms, but the searches always bring up financial advisor/sales jobs with many well known insurance companies. Help

Good questions, and the answers are rather complex. Terms such as "consultant" are thrown around a lot. What really matters is how you are regulated. If you work for a brokerage firm, you need what's called a Series 7--and possibly some others. This is a license to sell stocks on commission and work under the supervision of a brokerage house. You would be a "registered representative."

If you sell insurance, you will be license by your state, and again, work under the authority of an insurance company.

An "investment advisor" is any firm that offers investment advice for money. These firms are licensed by local state authorities, or, if they are larger enough, the SEC. An individual who offers advice on behalf of such a firm is an investment advisor representative.

You can be BOTH a registered rep and an investment advisor representative.

If you want to work for a brokerage house, find out who has training programs. Some may help you get your Series 7. I don't think the exam is very difficult but you have to be focused to succeed.

www.globalrecruiters.com Listen to Ben's testimonial of how he found a job using the services of Arthur Gluzman of Global Consulting Global ...

Does consultant base on commission? I'm holding a Series 6, can I get a job with salary base?

Yes.

The financial consultant, as the name itself suggests, is consulted for a fee, for any particular issue.

On the other hand, the role of a Financial Advisor is continuous and often he is on the payrolls of the firm seeking advise !!

Hello, I'm currently 16 years old and wondering which of these careers would benefit myself the most. Almost everyday I think of something new, but these are the ones that I've been the most consistent with.

No. 1- Psychiatrist.
No. 2- Psychologist.
No. 3- History Teacher.
No. 4- Historian.
No. 5- Financial Adviser/Consultant/Planner
No. 6- Landscape Artist (Owning my own local business)

So, as I said above, which of these would be the best and why? What are the average salaries for them? I've also been wondering what kind of math is involved with anyone of the Financial jobs. Would I need to know Algebraic problems/Geometry? Or would it just be addition and subtraction?

Well, that's about all I have to ask right now. I'll appreciate any answers that I may receive. The only thing that I ask is don't type anything stupid- such as, "Go 2 sleep." I got that on a previous question, anything but something like that is fine.

Thanks!!!

HI there,

I'm 22 years old, and currently in a dead end job, i left college because the last thing i wanted was to spend the rest of my life fixing computers.

So I’m wondering if anyone out there knows what good, stable careers are, I’m a little scatter brained about this, every day I think of something new to be, recruitment consultant, mortgage advisor, financial advisor, management… I have no idea what I really want to do! All I know is, I want to have a safe and secure future, and I’m willing to study for it.

I was going to be a freelance photographer but my eyes are starting to go, so this has put me into a bit of a frenzy to find a new career, if anyone has any good idea’s I’d love to hear them!

I’ve also heard about lists that predict good careers for the future, if anyone has any of those that’d be great.

Cheers!

If you're good with your hands and have good logic plumbing, but if I were you I'd do a few short courses to find out what really interests you.

Sometimes the worst thing you can do is sit and think about what you'd like to do, because you end talking yourself out of almost every good idea, doing a short course gives you a taste without much risk.

just an idea!
