I currently work for a financial group and am studying to get my series 6 license. The company is great but everything on our end is more or less a sales role, and thus pays based on performance (ie commission). If I elect to stay in the financial services industry, what are some jobs where I could utilize my series 6 license, but earn a salary as opposed to commission? And not some meager salary plus commission, I'm talking just strictly a salary. Anyone know of any positions?

I'm just curious why you wouldn't want to work on commission if you're getting a series 6?

I haven't made the decision to leave a commission pay structure yet, just exploring what other options may be available.

But the reason I'm even exploring is because I'm kind of tired of the roller coaster ride a commission plan can be. All it takes is one bad week to have a shitty pay check.

I hear ya, been on straight commission for along time. The only thing I like about it is in the financial industry, you have residual checks. Like Christmas on the 25th of each month, lol.
