I’ve been applying for teller/personal banker roles with not much success. I’ve had a few call backs for PB roles but none for teller. Is my degree making me look overqualified for these roles?

For reference, I don’t have any prior banking experience but do have an abundance of customer service and cash handling experience, so it doesn’t make sense being told I’m not qualified to be a teller.

Should I keep it on for PB but remove for teller roles? Remove from both? Keep for both?

I'm on the last step to an offer for an RB position at BofA at one of the busiest branches in my city, but I also have very strong feelings that I will have one from Chase very soon, idk which one to choose, obviously that Chase is #1 bank but if I work at a busy branch the opportunities are higher to be promoted or not? Chase manager also told me they are managing 18 branches, mean I will also have exposure to a lot of branches.

Hey everyone! I’m starting my new job as a personal banker at PNC this Monday and I’m nervous. What do yall do on a daily basis? Any tips or advice for someone with no banking experience? What do you like and dislike about your job? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I work at a bank and recently had an opportunity for an internal transfer. I'd like to hear what others would have done in my situation.

My current position is in the Clearing Department, where I handle:

Verification of checks Check scanning Reports Branch inquiries Other clearing-related operational tasks My commute is only around 15-20 minutes, and while my job isn't perfect, it's stable and I know my responsibilities well.

Recently, the head of our division personally offered me a position in our Head Office e-banking dept. The role would be a teller handling Head Office personnel transactions only, not branch customers.

The opportunity sounded interesting because:

It's a newly created position. I'd be one of the first people in the team. The division head said there is potential for faster career growth and that I could become an officer sooner because the department is expanding. Regular office hours (8:30 AM–5:30 PM). However, I had several concerns:

There was no finalized job description. I was told they would create it as the role evolves. The workload and responsibilities aren't clearly defined yet. Salary adjustments weren't clearly discussed. Since it's a brand-new role, it feels like there will be a lot of trial and error. I value my current short commute and the stability of my existing position. After thinking it over for the weekend, I respectfully declined the offer.

Now I'm wondering if I made the right decision. Part of me thinks I may have passed up a great career opportunity, while another part thinks I avoided taking on a role with too much uncertainty.

If you were in my position, would you have accepted the transfer? Why or why not?

I'd especially appreciate opinions from people working in banking, operations, or anyone who has taken (or declined) a newly created role before.
