This Finance Leader Has Been Promoted Four Times in Six Years—Here’s How He Did It (and How You Can, Too!)

John DiLivio had no idea what he wanted to do for a living even as he approached college graduation with a major in business management. “I did the only thing I could think of at the time: blindly apply to every job opening on the university’s job board until someone—anyone—would just give me a chance,” he says.

After some soul searching and an eye-opening experience watching his father’s financial struggles during retirement, DiLivio realized he wanted to work in wealth management and found an opportunity at Personal Capital. Almost six years (and four promotions) later, DiLivio is a senior vice president at the firm and leads his own team of financial advisors.

“I always wanted to have a job that was financially rewarding but also allowed me to feel like I was making a positive impact, and personal wealth management checked those critical boxes,” he says.

Here, DiLivio talks about his career journey and advancement at Personal Capital, why now is a particularly exciting time to join the firm, and his advice on how to earn a promotion at work.

What initially attracted you to work at Personal Capital, and what has kept you there for more than five years?

Next, I wanted to find a firm that was challenging the status quo—an up-and-comer rather than something established. Lastly, I wanted to find a place that would invest in my growth and provide opportunities to advance in my career. I wasn’t looking for a job, I was looking for a career. These things created the initial spark for me, and they are without a doubt the reasons I am still at Personal Capital.
