Which position should I go for?
Hi everyone I’d like to preface by saying my bank is a mid sized community bank that pays less than the big national banks but more than your average local credit union. I currently work as a UB3, and in retail at least, we have a VERY relaxed consultative sales system and very obtainable sales goals with quarterly bonuses. But commercial customers are the most important customers to my bank.
My ultimate career goal is project manager. In the meantime, I need to make more money and continue to be mentally stimulated at work but I do love my work life balance as of right now. I don’t have an interest in being a branch manager long term but I am encouraged often by my regional manager to apply to those positions.
I was also approached with the opportunity to interview with the treasury management team. As far as project management, I don’t think one will open very soon, but a PM role could open up at any time and if I’m just starting a new role when that happens my company wouldn’t love to transfer me again right away.
If you’re still reading, thanks lol! My questions are: which of these positions would make the most money? The internet is telling me treasury management makes more than a branch manager but if that’s true would my work life balance/pressure at work change drastically? Can anyone in these roles share their experiences? What questions should I ask if I interview for the treasury management role? Thank you!!!!
