@@financekid3163 Thank you. Can you please make a detailed video on Commercial Banking to Private Equity.

[@financekid3163]

Check out my careers in commercial banking video. There is a section on CB to PE transition which covers this subject. Hopefully I can create more content in the future on the topic. Thanks.

[@galaticoera7022]

Love your videos bro Do you mind talking about you career progression in commercial banking? What roles did you do and how long for?

[@financekid3163]

Thanks for watching, yes eventually I will do a Q&A video on my own path in CB and beyond thanks.

[@marcojosezgimenez]

I'm a commercial banker from the Philippines and this was insanely helpful. Maybe a good way to do it is to further breakdown hard and soft skills required, and which websites you use to target a specific industry if you do..(for example wanting to prioritize tech compankes since it's booming)

[@financekid3163]

Good video idea, yes I will add it to the list. There are lots of topics to cover in CB. Thanks for your kind words and for watching.

I’ve just started on a commercial banking rotational graduate programme. The programme seems cool. I get to do four rotations and then hopefully secure a permanent role at the end. Any tips for success?

[@financekid3163]

Good luck with your rotation. I highly recommend you get involved in as many deals as possible + spend as much time with senior bankers. Just watching them work and talk to clients is invaluable teaching time, try to go attend as many client meetings & site visits even if that means you have to work late at night, those rational programs are awesome accelerators to learning and career development.

[@danielm9074]

Love these videos!

[@financekid3163]

Thanks!

Does commercial banking client as hard as retail client? Sometime i find retail client very weird/ insane lol

[@financekid3163]

Oh I have definitely had my fair share of "different" clients in mid-market commercial lending. Ultimately all entrepreneurs have their own unique style, it just depends on who you end up meeting rather than what market you play in.

[@galaticoera7022]

Realistically how long does it take to go from an assistant rm/ credit analyst to an RM?

[@financekid3163]

1-3 years would be the range. Usually 2 years is enough to get promoted from an experience perspective, it can be quicker if you have good sales abilities already.

[@galaticoera7022]

@@financekid3163 Thanks man What would get me to an RM quicker, starting as an assistant RM or starting as a credit analyst?

[@RacksonRacksonRibss]

@@galaticoera7022 Depends. If you're literally talking an assistant to the RM (like an admin assistant/customer care specialist) definitely a Credit Analyst. If there's a clear program to become an RM where you are an assistant RM I suppose you could go that route. But in my opinion long-run Credit Analyst is the better route. Plus down the line employers will like that you were in Credit and learned that side. Just my 2 cents.
