Im 22, and I drive a 2023 Mazda CX-30 that | leased in 2024 and I have 5 months left on my lease. I don't love the car, its missing features I would like, gets 22mpg, has had issues covered under warranty, but it takes me from point A to point B. When I leased it, I chose 15k miles a year for 36 months, and my buyout price is $16,000. It has 30k miles right now, and I have gotten it appraised at 21k-22k.

I have an 800 credit score and make about 60k a year. Ideally I want something that has good mpg and its sporty but not expensive as Im trying to be responsible with my money. My payment right now is about 380$, Im way under miles (I drive 6 miles a day).

My job is about 3 miles from me, so I can consider a new lease (preferably under 500). But one option is to buy it out by financing the rest but I hear mixed opinions and with the average 6-7% used car APR my payment would jump to the 500s for a 36 month loan, and my warranty ends next year.

I have a total of 3 years of experience in retail banking basically as a teller for a credit union and now banker for a big 4. Im working on my finance degree and plan on obtaining my SIE soon. What jobs should I consider?

Ive been an RB for quite some time at my bank, almost 2 years. And prior to that about the same time doing the same time but at a credit union. I applied for a Senior Banker position (basically what Im currently doing but not getting paid for and having the teller line and wayy more responsibilities and also being a notary but not getting paid), my numbers are great, im at the Top 15% of my market.

After going through all the interviews, the hiring manager came to my branch and asked to meet with me IN PERSON to tell me I didn’t get the job because Im not good enough and need to be at Top 10% for me to even consider me. He proceeded to tell me he wants me to “sell more” vaguely without an actual number or acknowledging my numbers. And he also told me he wants me to rush and get excited when there is a new account in the lobby, weird.

I do not plan on having my time wasted here, I have done a lot for my job. Being 50% teller and 50% banker and notary and opening and closing duties and sales goals and operations and atm servicing. This job is awful and they only promote who they like better. The person who got promoted only has 1 year in banking, thats it. They want used car salesmen to work for them.

Where do I apply next?

Hello everyone, I am considering this position. Ive been in my role as a RB for a year and half and wanted to check out this position. If you have this job how do you like it? And how much do you get paid?
