Top company for Financial Planners/Wealth Advisors?


Question:
Hello,
I am considering a career change and would like to become a financial advisor. The companies that I am looking at are:
Smith Barney, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS.

Would anyone out there know which is the TOP firm to join? I'm not looking only at payout but OVERALL BEST COMPANY TO JOIN.

Answer:
I think that it would depend on what your definition of Best is.

If you want to have a greater chance to travel in your company: UBS.

If you want diversity in your portfolios then I would say Smith Barney.

Morgan Stanley has had a lot of internal problem in the past few years so I would stear clear of them for now.

Merrill Lynch is a solid company. Its a good choice all the same.
