Wealth Manager Friend Admits: Clients Pay for Peace of Mind, Not Results! 😳💸

I had a pretty eye-opening chat with my friend Sarah, who works at a high-end wealth management firm. She handles clients with at least $5 million to invest, so I figured she’d have some wild strategies. But when I mentioned the classic advice of just putting money into a steady index fund and letting it grow, she paused and said, “Honestly, that’s great advice.” This threw me off. I asked if her clients really needed her services, and she admitted, “Not really. But wealthy people want to feel like experts are actively managing their money. If all we did was put it in index funds, they’d think we were scamming them.” Now I’m questioning everything about my own career path and the value I bring at work. Do you ever feel like your job is more about appearances than actual results? How do you deal with that kind of pressure? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 🤔💬 #JobCareer #Career #CareerDilemma
