Farther | No comp given
Steph's Notes:
If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you.
Y'all. Fuck that. Take a nap.
As a member of Farther’s client experience team, this is an opportunity to have a huge impact not just on the company, but on the entire wealth industry.
Oh, yeah? Does the salary match that huge impact?
Support advisors by performing and managing daily tasks for the business and existing clients
Help advisors execute operational follow-up action items for clients
Huh? Is this a support position, or is this a remote office manager position?
Team player with a positive attitude and a strong work ethic
Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail and strong communication skills
Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and ability to handle multiple competing tasks
Passion for creating increased efficiencies within current operational processes for the business and servicing clients
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Look, apparently this is just not the week for this bullshit. Blah blah woof woof capitalism, but a company that wants to use you to build private wealth for others but won't deign to tell you what the compensation package is is especially hypocritical and I just cannot (Farther for me, but not for thee?).
If they can be cavalier with people's livelihoods, then I can be cavalier with Bad Job Bingo. Off to Seriously, Maybe Don't they go.
