“Sorry mate, not good news.”

And with those 5 words, my twenty year career in Stockbroking came to an end. 

When the GFC hit.  Almost overnight, the industry collapsed.  Stockbroking firms were hit hard, and good workers, with lots of long-term experience were being made redundant.

I was at the crossroads, my son Alex was 18 months old and my 6 figure salary disappeared.  My Stockbroking skills couldn’t be quickly transferred anywhere else, and I had no idea what I could possibly do next.  Stressful times.

I somehow stumbled across a Mortgage Broking post on LinkedIn for Masters Broker Group. The rest is history.
