Commercial Bank: Switching from credit (PM) to sales side (RM)

Hi everyone, does anyone know if it’s worth moving to the sales side and becoming a RM one day versus becoming a PM? The credit side can get a bit dulling, and I’ve heard the money is much better on the sales side. Any experiences here for anyone whose made the jump?

Also, I know banks are paying heavy right now with how the industry and job market is. Anyone know TCs of other banks for analysts?

Sales will indeed probably be more money but also a lot more competitive.

Pros and cons to sales side. PM roles are much more stable IMO. Sure, there are times it can be dull, but as SA1 said, it can be much more competitive, too.

Everyone always things the other side has more money. The reality is that if there's more money, it's because there's more work, so keep that in mind. Sometimes dull money that's good means you have brain space free to pursue other interests, like new investments. Think on it before switching.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Any thoughts on Sidley's London office? How sharp elbowed are the associates and how much do partners genuinely try and help you develop a career? Bonus points if you can provide insight on how the corporate and finance departments work with specialists on transactional matters. As a final ask, are they genuinely into D&I and flexible working efforts or is this predominantly lip service? Thanks in advance!

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
