Financial Planner (Former teacher)

"After starting a career in education, I quickly learned that I needed to improve my own finances, pay off student debt, and save for the future in a profession that isn't known for providing a high salary. My research in how to improve my own finances combined with my passion for helping my students be better prepared for the future opened the door for me to consider financial planning as a career path. My role as a financial planner allows me to blend the part of an education career that I loved, with personal finance in a way that shapes and changes the trajectory of my client's lives."

Financial Advisor, MBA (Former Accounting Manager)

“Participating in the CDP program at Prudential helped set me up for success with resources where I gained knowledge through experiences. What we do is not a job, but a business, so I always saw my manager as a mentor. This person stressed prospecting, so I prospected a lot which was helpful. Other resources came from wholesalers inside and outside of Prudential, they were available and made it easy to learn product and strategies. Best part of my experience was positive energy, something that is necessary. I can only remember positive energy from leadership and Prudential Veterans, all very willing to answer questions and provide support.”

Financial Planner (US Coast Guard Veteran)

"I chose the Prudential Career Development Program due to its robust training and development that was available to me as a 'career changer.' I felt I could have some autonomy of being in business 'for myself' but wouldn’t be 'by myself.'

The training and support resources available to a new advisor are excellent, in fact, the support is overwhelming. I always feel I have a solid and reliable resource to turn to whenever I feel as I can’t handle the client’s situation on my own."

Financial Planner (Former Chinese language teacher)

“I joined Prudential right before COVID‐19 hit the US. As someone brand new to the financial services industry, I have found that the Career Development Program has had a profoundly positive impact on my new career. CDP not only covers a broad range of areas such as our client offerings and the technology platforms at Prudential, but also trains us in delivering our services effectively and consistently. The training labs were particularly helpful.  Our highly experienced and always encouraging instructors showed us the way to success through clear directions and demonstrations. We were also able to learn from our peers’ creative approaches as well as their initial stumbles. I just received the Junior of the Year award, which I can’t imagine I could have achieved without the CDP program.”
