JohnDoe,

If you are in Chicago you should be looking at Northern Trust Global Investments. They manage probably twice as much as EDJ manages and it's nearly all institutional.  There are tons of investment opportunities in Chicago (NTGI, Citadel hedge fund, +many others) Chicago doesn't have as many opportunities as NY they're definitely have enough.

[quote=JohnDoe]I'm  currently a Seg 3 EJ  IR,  selling  36 months,  30 years old.  What are my job prospects in Chicago, preferably downtown?  Obviously I've been recruited so I know the story elsewhere, but more specifically if I wanted to get out of the selling side, what are my options?  Does anybody know?

 Do I have enough work experience to be taken seriously as a consultant in the field, institutional, etc?

You could work in the gift shop in the observation deck of the Hancock Center. I shoplifted an ash tray from there when I was a kid.

[/quote]So you're either a bitter ex EJ employee, or an Indy that continues to lose business to a EJ broker in your town.

Either way, I've yet to see any firm out there take the steps EJ does as a firm, to do what's right for the client.

You're a cute kid.

So, JohnDoe, you’re pretty much indicating that you’ve only worked for Jones.  What basis for comparison do you have?

Oh MAN!

He just openedup the Whupass!

John Doe,

Aren't you trying to LEAVE Jonestown? Why would you take the bug juice with you? "Wait! It's so fruity sweet and yet there's that bitter almondy taste in there too! One more swig please, please!"

JD,

So could you explain to all the boys and girls how it was the clients best interest to have Mr. Hill resign (and pay back most of his income from a year ago), settle with the SEC and others for a "few million" and then do it all over again just the other month?

Yes I'm from the "dark side" and did learn a few things during my tenure at EJ....

[quote=BrokerRecruit]So, JohnDoe, you’re pretty much indicating that you’ve only worked for Jones.  What basis for comparison do you have?[/quote]Two words, B-share Annuity.  I’m very familiar with the tactics used at other firms.  I know there
are systems in place at other firms to keep brokers in line, and I also
know every firm has brokers that don’t do what right for the client. 
I’ve just yet to see another firm take the steps necessary to curtail
b-share annuities.

Show me any example you can where a b-share annuity in excess of 100k makes sense for a client.  Yet I see 70 year old clients from all over with these things.  It’s nauseating.

There’s no point debating this topic.  Its simply an opinion.
