UBS vs Raymond James
Which is a better model for a former McDonald FA? UBS or RJA Independent employee model?
That depends on whether or not you're a good candidate for an independent practice. Answer that and you'll have your answer.
I like the double cheese at Mcdonalds…
If you were an FA in downtown Cleveland, for example, and you enjoyed the atmosphere UBS might be a good fit. On the other hand, if you were based in a small town office with 2-3 reps the rj model might be better suited to you. Of course, there are many other issues to consider. In either case, go talk to the local managers/producers. Additionally, some of your peers should be able to give you some good information on those offices in your area.
