Frequently Asked Questions
Do you understand wealth management vs. investment banking?
Yes. Wealth management resumes require a completely different approach than IB, emphasizing client relationships, holistic planning, AUM growth, and retention rather than deal tombstones. Our reviewers understand the wealth management hiring landscape.
Should I include my Series licenses?
Absolutely. Series 7, 66, 63, and insurance licenses (life, health, variable annuity) should be prominently featured. For CFP® candidates, include your expected certification date.
How do I quantify success as an advisor?
Focus on AUM growth, client acquisition, retention rates, portfolio performance vs. benchmarks, revenue generated, and client satisfaction scores. We'll help you identify the right metrics for your experience level.
I'm transitioning from another finance role. Can you help?
Yes. We work with many candidates moving from banking, insurance, or corporate finance into wealth management. We'll help you position transferable skills while addressing the relationship-focused nature of advisory work.
