What advice would you give young women just starting their careers who are considering the financial advising profession?
This is a challenging and extremely rewarding career. There are so many areas of opportunity in financial services; I would recommend an honest evaluation of your skill set, then work with an industry veteran and/or mentor about how best to apply your unique talents in the industry. Would you shine as an Advisor, a Financial Planner, a Paraplanner?
What advice would you give a woman considering the financial advising profession with some experience who is looking to change careers?
I took the leap and shifted careers at age 30 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Helping people reach their goals is so incredibly rewarding. I would offer the same advice as above plus this: the financial industry is constantly evolving, you will need to be adaptable.
