STAY WITH TD OR MOVE
Hey everyone. I need honest advice.
I’m currently a TD part time CEA for 4 months now (done with probation). I’ve expressed to my MCE about my plans to take IFIC exam and move into a full time PBA role. She let me know that TD requires me to spend minimum of 8 months to 1 year as a CEA before they would consider me for a promotion.
I paid for my IFIC myself and I took my exam today and PASSED!
My priority right now is getting a full time job and currently my options are- Stay with TD, keeping my partimejob or start applying to other banks.
Moving to another bank means starting from ground up again from probation, learning new bank systems and process or stick with TD where I’m done with probation, have a solid foundation of the systems/processes and hope for a promotion by the 8th month-1 year mark (February-June 2027).
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
PS- I plan to inform my manager of the new development later this week and the response would seal my decision.
