Relationship Manager Review

Servicing corporate banking clients, processing credit applications and risk management.

Learnt a lot through doing the job, not so much from the training provider.

I've enjoyed the programme but it is difficult to fit in the off-the-job training when working in a busy environment. It's not always realistic to have 20% off-the-job and it creates a lot of pressure.

Not very well structured and organised as I have had 3 talent coaches in the space of 18 months so very little consistency.

Employer was always supportive and tried to organise breaks from the job to do focus on development

Very little

I don't think that the qualification helped me perform in my role other than the fact that it gives you and understanding of the rational behind procedures and processes.

Yes I'm in a football team and part of a networking event for young professionals.

Yes

A lot of potential for developing in an international bank with lots of growth opportunities if you're prepared to work hard.

Make sure you have some great examples of where you have demonstrated the key responsibilities. Listen to the FT banking weekly podcast to get an understanding of challenges facing the industry. Have genuine reasons as to why you want to work in the industry.
