What was the worst job you had and the bank and why?
I’ll go first…
BOFA Merrill Ly--h Corporate Treasury supporting healthcare, education and not for profit companies.
The staff was cool as he-l in Dallas, nearly everyone was chill but the workload and sales team were another story.
I like a job where i can feel like I can make a difference, this particular role mind you training took nearly 3 months then you’re thrown into the fire - blazing hot and the life boat has a ho-e the size of your first. You do your best to take the water out but as much as you dump out 2 more buckets of water fill.The constant state of being over worked is well an understatement
You feel like your fighting with operations and the sales team daily
I lasted about 2 years and frankly was looking for a new role at year 1 into that role. Covid slowed me down getting g a new role and learning how to do an all virtual hiring process which thankfully worked out and I’m very happy in my new gig, but OMG two years of heart stress, loss of sleep and then dealing with clients who, some were cool and others were a complete nightmare, not that i fully blame them, sales sold them something that they were not ready to implement and I’m there holding the keys for them.
Fast forward to now, I’m on a great team, enjoy what i do, very minimal stress and I actually love my boss, they are down to earth, support me if i need them and actually encourage me to use all time allotted to me from the bank. I go on vacation and not dread about coming back to my emails.
I want to this be of some hope for my colleagues out there, while no job is perfect, make moves and take chances, your only one job away from a better place.
Hope this helps some of you.
