I've been turned away by 4 RIAs for jobs that I am well qualified and experienced in. Jobs they are hiring for, and Schwab does not have postings for. Each of them says "since we custody with Schwab, we have agreements signed that we cant hire employees until you've terminated for 18 months."
I'm not bringing clients with me. This feels contrary to FTCs 2024 non-compete appetite. And the position doesn't exist at schwab anyway.
Feeling stuck.
