I was planning on moving to China for a year to teach English and make a little bit of money. I just left Ameriprise so I have a lot of unpaid expenses because their reimbursement plan is extremely SLOW! Anyway, I was told that because I am full Asian that I am not desirable over there because they only want Caucasian or hybrids teaching...they have such a distorted view of what an native speaker is.

I am interested in looking into a bank because right now I need the salary and the fringe benefits more than anything else.

Let me see if I have this right.  You're unable to manage your own finances but want to manage other people's assets?

Actually, I manage my finances just fine at the moment. However, I just graduated from college last year and have student loans to pay off and my parent's just got laid off and need my help to support them. I'm just looking for something more steady right now rather than the rollercoaster ride I was experiencing at Ameriprise.

I think a good bank program would fit you well based on your self-description.  If I were you, I'd look for banks with Asian ownership and/or strong presence in Asian communities.  You don't need a headhunter for this search.  Polish your resume, google some bank programs in your target area, dress nice and hand-deliver some resumes to program managers.  With your licensing and demographics, I'd say you'll get an offer.

Just understand that with the stability comes a downside...bankers don't like to pay you once you're successful.

That's an excellent point--the Asian banker angle.

Where do you live silkgirl?

Doesn't say much for the amount of reading you do, kiddo.

Does that strike you as a valuable addition to a message board designed to help others?

It could have been the best thing I've read in years... But its not...

My comment could have been a joke... And it was...

It's humiliating isn't it--painting yourself as an idiot in public, and all.

What about what he said was even worthy of your comment?

Right now I live in Houston, and about 90% of my clients were all Asian. There is definately a lot of money involved here but I was thinking of relocating to Irvine, CA soon. My book of clients aren’t portable so they all got reassigned to other advisors at the firm.

Union Bank in CA is majority Asian-owned (Mitsubishi Bank)...I'm sure there are others out there...

Actually I would think any bank, anywhere in the country, with a significant Asian customer base would salivate at the prospect of having a bilingual WOMAN who is fully registered.

I think having Asian ownership is sort of irrelevant--what you're looking for is a local manager who realizes that the customers are going to feel comfortable with "one of their own" across the desk.

Hell, why stop at a bank--why not go for the mother lode and approach some wirehouses with the "I am Asian, they are Asian....." suggestion.

That said, there are a lot of Asians who are already registered--but she has the internal plumbing benefit working for her too.

I've posted this before and Indyone is right this is a very good niche for you.  A female  "classmate" at the EDJ training was from the SF Bay Area, Chinese and spoke several dialects.  She made an excellent niche market for herself as a broker dealing mainly with small business owners who are great clients.  They trusted her because she could communicate with them, were/are thrifty and loyal clients.

Go for it
