What do you people here actually do for a living!?

ShastownSoldierIt's alright, I like the people in colorado better. The ski season is also pretty short here. If I were to do it over. I probably would have tried to live in Salt Lake. The highways leaving denver are too crowded to get to the mountains in a reasonable time. San Diego is just far, and the mountain is only good if you ski park. It's also harder to find people to ski with in socal. It felt like everyone in colorado was really about skiing/ the outdoors.

Yeah I feel you on that. Being in a place where everyone skiis /mtb /hikes makes a huge difference.

Its funny I moved to Sun Valley and you can be at the grocery store and talk to the cashier about conditions, new gear, the sick run you took earlier that morning etc... Everytime I visit a normal city it's like... damn, smalltalk in a non-ski town is boring haha.

That's for sure. I could probably talk to the grocery store cashier about conditions if I pick up surfing. The surf report plays on the radio every morning here. "Knee to waist high, with a south westernly swell. hightide at 7:45 this morning and again 6:25 this evening."

I would rather MTB and slackline though.

BigPurpleSkiSuitI'm a banker

Hey hows the career going, any new directions or goals?

Quick question on banking. I'm interested in possibly transitioning to be a Wealth Management Banker. My current job is complimentary to Hedge Funds which have been progressively shitting the bed the last few years, and my town ( Sun Valley) has a high number of UHNWI, making the WM positions in town pretty stable.

Do WM Bankers / Advisors typically have a resume that's deep with retail banking? I'm lacking retail experience, but my CV goes something like this: Working in a Single Family Office for a UHNWI, who is an ex HF manager and an active investor. I'm proficient with investments on macro and individual scales. Extensive relationship management experience with clients with a NW of 5mm or more. About to be CPA but I don't dig Accounting per say. Been told I have good soft skills. 26 yo.

Do Wealth Managers typically work their way up through banking, or can people like myself transition in?

Wealth managers come from all kinds of different backgrounds in my experience. Retail doesn't mean much apart from showing you can sell. What does matter is how personal you can be with the clients and how you come across. You'll probably be able to find whatever you want with that resume. Careers going well, looking like I might end up in commercial lending here shortly!

I work for my school at the outdoor program, pretty laid back job and I live right down the block which is nice. Im trying to implement a ski program before I graduate.

Awesome, thanks for that! Congrats on the big moves my guy.

WalreeseSmall mountain in colorado, ski cooper

Ay the cooper hutt is lit. You ever huck that massive cornice on that massive open ridge in the bc there?

I design and fabricate high end radiant floor heating systems. Working in the construction and renovation industry is kinda cool, especially for local projects, but also kinda depressing because it makes me think that by the time I can afford to consider my own home, Bozeman will be out of my price range. But also with the connections I'm making I could buy a fixer upper and renovate it so that I can add on an apartment to rent out

Lil bump but... anyone an LPC/LCSW?

I was a private equity analyst last summer, landed a portfolio construction gig this year.
