UBS Financial Advisor training/position?
Does anyone know about the UBS Fiancial Advisor training program? I am considering changing careers and was wondering about the company and training they offer. I have read many complaints about Ameriprise,etc. I am a top salesperson in my industry (not financial) and was looking for input.

- the industry, not the program, would concern me. Retail wealth mgmt is tough right now. Not alot of new business out there. Very tough to grow a portfolio of clients these days. Eat Funyuns.
- It is a tough field right now (with a possible recession looming), however; if you have solid "sales skills" you are at a decided advantage over career changers who just fancy the financial services industry and believe it is all glamor. Do a side by side comparison of what firms offer to get you started, and if you have a solid sales track effort, you may be very successful in the long haul. Eventually you may wish to obtain a CFP designation (Cert. Financial Planner). Also as a financial services executive, I recommend checking out www.learntosucceed.biz. They can make the difference, sound career advice and they will answer your specific questions. Good Luck.
