Under 400K Producers (MS)

start packing you duffle bags over at Morgan. End of August is D-Day.
BS.
ML has the highest standards among the wires, and I guarantee you they aren’t going to be asking $350,000 producers to hit the bricks anytime soon. So neither will MS.
If you produce $250,000 at any firm you are safe (except GS and the likes of course).

GS has a cool program.
I don’t know much about it, other than they cater to the UHNW set…care to elaborate?
I know a guy who works in a midwest market. They paid him a fat
salary to get a program up and running, focussing on 10 mil plus
clients. He went in and built a team, made basic presentations
and had portfolio managers come in as guns. Within a couple years
he says he built an office with 1 bil in assets. He now has 3
offices, NY, CA, and Chicago. He is 35.
I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I wouldn't be surprised if Gorman tried to expand on the standards that he helped initiate at ML.

Geez...seriously, that is how it is done. Nice to be him.
Man, things must be rough for that guy. Next thing you know, he'll be homeless, shuffling along the sidewalk in tattered clothing humming the theme to Knight Rider to himself.

Gee, is this the 4th or 5th prediction of a cut at a level which would eliminate about 40% of the firm's brokers? It's pretty funny how little some people understand about the this business and about statistics.

I LOVE that guy
Went to early training with Sanchez, who was smarter than me and went into “management,” (didn’t too him too much good long term). He mentioned layoffs last year in the 200-250 range, a few months before the ax fell (225,000). On his way out the door last month mentioned 350,000 to 400,000 coming this year. I am a 350,000 producer, on his way out the door, basically told me "get to 400K soon or find another shop before the end of July. Those of you who care, good luck…and those of you who work at Morgan and don’t believe it, you’ll be like the others last year who were told to hit the bricks (with about 5 seconds notice). Would not have gone into this detail other than the stupid comment from the guy saying 250,000 is safe anywhere.

“Well…What’s that Dad? It seems we have a little Billy Shakespere!”
“Actually Matt, we encourage his writing.”
“Will you just SHUT YOUR YAPPER!!”

He's dead. I miss him and those like him who were done too soon.

Such turmoil and uncertainty over there at good 'ol Morgan Stanley. What will the clients do when/if there is another cut??? Who will be able to help them??? So many unknowns.... Clients are aware of the turmoil and changes,etc.... Lets just say I have stepped up the communication with my 34 prospects who have MS. If/when the cuts are made, I will be sure to lob in a friendly call to see how they are doing....... ahhhh... business opportunity.... I LOVE IT.....
