[/quote] A couple of good things at this particular MetLife office is
that it's
one of the best in the country. Everyone there, who is obviously
biased, loves it. They support each other, and they have a lot of
million-dollar producers. After my 19-week period of "training," they
want me to work day-to-day with one of these senior producers.



Sounds to me like:

A. You need a reality check.
B. You know nothing about the industry
C. You'r looking a gift horse in the mouth.

You'r a newbie, a body to fill a slot in ANY insurance company or
wirehouse.

MetLife IS a respectable company, selling securities is just as hard as
selling insurance. In fact, at lot more people NEED insurance products, so
your chances of finding qualified prospects are that much higher. Their
offering you a paycheck AND a succesfull mentor to help teach you the
ropes and yet you are still in doubt?

Neither Merrill, nor Smith Barney, UBS or Morgan Stanley are gonna offer
you anything much better(and once your there, they WILL want you to sell
some insurance as it is part of most any financial plan, their current kick).
In fact, they probably won't even offer you that much.

Now, if you really have a hard on for a wirehouse position, try to get them
to match the MetLife offer, who knows, keep in mind the mentoring offer
from a succesfull producer is THE most valuable part of the MetLife deal
you've described.

Good Luck
