Im a CPM now, don’t feel like changing the above… but I would say to increase your productivity and speak to RMs and ask to join customer calls. Increases exposure as well as gets you to know some of the questions that are being asked regularly. It also challenges you to not sit around and dig a little more into spreads to look for stuff to ask about. Sometimes they will request for your services as a CPM. Try to get on loan committee meetings for additional exposure with credit officers.

Get certified and get an MBA degree in Finance or Accounting if you do not have one. The Corporate Finance Institute has a Commercial Banking & Credit Analyst certification program and that will look good on your resume.

Certifications are not useless if they are issued by a respected organization. Corporate Finance Institute has trained professionals at top companies.
