Ubs Financial Advisor

Does anyone know about the UBS Fiancial Advisor training program? I am considering changing careers and was wondering about the company and training they offer. I have read many complaints about Ameriprise,etc. I am a top salesperson in my industry (not financial) and was looking for input.

It is a tough field right now (with a possible recession looming), however; if you have solid "sales skills" you are at a decided advantage over career changers who just fancy the financial services industry and believe it is all glamor.

Do a side by side comparison of what firms offer to get you started, and if you have a solid sales track effort, you may be very successful in the long haul. Eventually you may wish to obtain a CFP designation (Cert. Financial Planner).

Also as a financial services executive, I recommend checking out www.learntosucceed.biz. They can make the difference, sound career advice and they will answer your specific questions.
Good Luck.

Grant Rasmussen, President and CEO, UBS Bank (Canada) and Head of Wealth Management for UBS in Canada talks about what kind of person makes a ...

If so how do you like it? Is there a better firm to work for out there? I am looking to get into a firm that will sponsor me to get my series 7 and 63 license in CA and then continue to work for. I have 14 years of financial sales experience.

I used to work out at UBS. I enjoyed it a lot. I personally don't think there is a better firm in California. But the reason I left is because I opened a family business. And you have 14 years of financial sales experiance, that's great! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! I hope I was helpful...

Price: $18.95

I think I can land one of these stints but I was wondering what the starting salary would be? Does anyone know?
Really? That can't be right? I am sure they have a bas pay.

Most financial advisor jobs are 1099 - no base pay
you earn what you are worth

I have taken the screening tests at UBS and I have been to an interview. I am still waiting on a call back. I know someone who works there and they said that they typically match the salary that you are making now. She said that she has seen it matched fairly high (more than 60K). After you earn your licenses, you go through a series of stepdowns in base salary until you are straight commision. I hope this helps! :)
