Message: Hi everyone, I have some basic question regarding the industry. What's the difference between a Private wealth management (or just welth management), Financial advisors and Stockbroker? Also, all of the above vs Sales and trading (equities, fixed...)? what are the differences and the similarities? or maybe they're all the same??? In addition, would anyone consider a small unknown brokerage firm? or is it not recomended at all? and what are some of the ways to get into sales and trading? Thank you very much, any help is much appreciated. I'm thinking of getting into that business, I have a lot of sales experience selling private placements and stocks as well, but in other international markets; just moved here and I am a little confused and in need of some guidance. My ultimate goal is to get as much experience and connections as I can and to own my own business - Private equity, HF or a brokerage firm - but again I'm very confued. Sorry for the long post Thank you for the help RC
