I’m feeling impatient and trying to determine my next step. Got into branch banking a year ago and I have lots of leadership experience, also many years of cash handling. I took a teller supervisor/lead position just to get in, but had I waited I could have started as an assistant manager. Would it benefit me more to move over to a banker position or to teller supervisor in a larger branch? I am also looking for assistant manager jobs with other institutions. Have you seen many people move into management from a teller supervisor role? I know people have been hired into management roles with out previous banking roles but just feel like I have not seen anyone go from the teller side right into management roles. How long did you wait between each step? Any advice or any personal paths are appreciated. My current manager isn’t doing much to help me develop a path or really grow at all, hence the impatience.

My current employer will cover this course completely. If you’ve taken it How did you like it? Were you then able to then get certifications like SHRM-CP. I don’t have a degree, currently in a low level leadership role at a financial institution, and have done retail HR as a store manager about 15 years ago. Would this course be a good fit?

For those that have been at both what are the pros/cons and which do you prefer?

I’ve been with a big bank for just about a year in a teller lead role and I am doing very well. In the past I have experience as a retail manager. My managers say I’d be great in risk management (specifically the loss prevention area manager), but I doubt that position will open up any time soon. I have an interview at a small CU for an assistant manager position. Not sure what to do but I know the salary I’m making now isn’t sustainable for much longer than a couple more months. Any ideas would be great.
