After graduating from the University of Oregon in 2009, I began my career as an Account Executive in the Vancouver, WA office (I know, rough time to start in financial sales). Prior to my first day, several people said, "You'll have to work for several companies to find a good one..." or "Just get any job, get some experience, and then move on..." Although this advice may be true for some, it couldn't be further from my experience. Within the first month, Fisher went from "just a job" to "a true career". Now after 10+ years and four positions, I'm proud to have spent the prime of my early career with Fisher Investments. Through the years, dozens of candidates and friends have asked me what makes Fisher so special? My answer is simple. OPPORTUNITY. When you combine all the factors, Fisher is uniquely positioned to help employees build careers.This is what keeps me excited:*Privately held with a founder and CEO eager to help transform the investment industry (i.e. you won't find mission complacency here)!*Culture of internal promotion for those who work hard and get results*Innovative mindset and willingness to try new ways to help more families and institutionsAdd all these factors together and BOOM, you have for yourself a great opportunity for a long and prosperous career!
