advice needed
i (20F for ✨context✨) currently am a personal banker for one of the big 4. i just received this promotion after being a teller for ~1 year and 8 months or so. i am definitely a seasoned/veteran teller by now, as i know everything there is to know on the teller system, and operational things as far as the teller line goes. as far as the personal banker position, i feel pretty well versed in that despite only getting the promotion in May. i feel as though i’ve got almost all the consumer things down, it’s just the business account opening/maintenance that im a little iffy about - and new to, because most of it is on a whole separate system and it’s just all pretty foreign to me. but im willing to learn and always strive to grow and advance. i currently work with another personal banker, premier banker, and branch manager (and FA if you wanna count that). however, we received news yesterday that since our branch isn’t slated for a premier any longer, he’s going to get optimized and transferred to a nearby branch that IS in need of a premier, and he’s going to be replaced with a relationship banker. 756
my premier banker even said he feels that, in our surrounding area, i would probably be the most qualified to apply to the relationship banker position. i’m unsure if my manager thinks i’m ready for it or not yet, as i haven’t spoken to him about it. so i’m coming here for advice first. as i said, im always ready to learn and grow. how big of a change is it going from personal to relationship banker? will there be 100x more pressure on me since i’ll be licensed? would anyone reckon i’m too new to take on this type of responsibility? should i stay in my current personal banker position for longer? i know it sounds crazy to make this type of change so soon in my current position, but i really am pretty good at what i do now already despite it only being a few months.. i don’t know much about investments… and i’ve heard the tests are hard although i never had a tough time in school and with the proper resources (which i know my job will provide) i should be able to learn the material no problem because i have the will to do it. can anyone offer any advice on this? even small suggestions are helpful. thank you. 756
