Demand for financial planning positions has dropped by one third this year, according to eFinancialCareers.

The article also includes a quote from a key recruitment consultant who says large firms, particularly dealership groups, are always interested in taking on planners with existing clients: “Firms can’t afford to take on too many inexperienced planners - who have to build a client base from scratch - because in the current market it might take a year for them to become profitable.”
