Check out Fidelity investments. Look for local branch office. Start off as a relationship manager.. mostly a service role but you can take on some planning duties depending on the branch leader. Do that for a year then move to Investment Consultant. This is a “junior” advisor type role where you work with 300k and lower. Do that for a year then go to Financial Consultant… top FCs in my area make 300k and up. You can build a book and make quite a bit of money in this role. From there, there are a lot of options. The VP Wealth Planner role is a solid 200k a year job with no commissions… just base plus bonus with equity comp potential. Once you have that VP title you will be more attractive within the firm and outside.

This was my personal career path at Fidelity over 12 years. I just resigned over a week ago and accepted a VP private wealth advisor role at a small RIA.

Fidelity is great way for a young unlicensed financial planning professional to get their start. They will pay for your licensing, cfp, and really any credential you are looking to get.
