Hi chalime,
Welcome to LW!
There are many of us here who share your views on the financial services industry, and index funds with low expense ratios have been strongly recommended in nearly all of the financial advice threads posted on LW. I once went to a career information session hosted by a botique wealth management firm myself, and ended up not even sending them my resume because of similar reasons regarding my personal fit with the field, and value of services provided by advisers.
The 80,000 Hours blog has historically mentioned that the good done by donating a small part of one's income to excellent charities likely outweighs any harm done by a career in the financial services industry. However, if working for a wealth management company doesn't feel like a good fit to you, you certainly shouldn't feel morally obligated to stay with them for earning-to-give reasons!
Thanks for the reply Fhuttersly-
Yes, I’ll be honest, my mind is made up. There is no way I can continue to do this every day- it’s just not sustainable.
It’s a little scary because this is already my second job since graduating, and even if I think I have good reasons for leaving, that stuff is not easy to explain.
