<p>Hey guys:</p>

<p>Just trying to get some of your opinions.</p>

<p>Basically I am in the career exploration phase right.</p>

<p>One of the careers I have looked at would be financial management and one of the jobs that interests me is a branch manager at a larger bank. Something such as Chase, Bank of America, etc. Nothing real high up or anything. Just the #1 guy at a commercial bank branch.</p>

<p>I was trying to see if anybody had experience in this and if so if they could give me some info on it.</p>

<p>My research has given me very different results. Some places I have seen $45,000 base for first year branch managers and on other places I have seen $60,000. Obviously I know it is all about sales which can ultimately give you another $10 K+ depending on how well.</p>

<p>I am just trying to see how stressful a job it is, hours, and just the overall satisfaction. My dad was a branch manager at a mid-sized bank in Ohio and he worked a lot of hours (about 60) but he was also a loan officer there.</p>

<p>I am currently a bank teller at Chase (have been for 6 months) and like it and I can see myself doing this until I graduate so it it a safe assumption that when I got a degree I could be bumped up to a branch manager somewhere else?</p>

<p>Any info would be great.</p>

<p>You can also consider being one of the growing number of personal bankers commercial banks have a growing number of. I know the one I work with makes more than $60K and he’s a young engineering grad of a top 40 college.</p>

<p>Banks assign them to their top 10% of customers and they become the interface between you and the bank. They handle your day to day banking business–sending wires, getting your kid a credit card, setting up CD’s, arranging loans and trying to convince you to use the bank’s investment services.</p>

<p>They get incentives on top of pay, my guy seems to be on a junket to Hawaii whenever I call</p>
