Hi. I’m in my 20s and am a banker at a financial institution. Been in the role for less than a year. I’m not too sure the path I want to take after this. Working as a licensed banker is not something I’m particularly interested in right now. If anything I feel like maybe I’d want to be a manager at some point. If I really got to chose I feel like I’d do good in helping out making our websites better or something like that. In general, What’s the best way to grow in the banking industry??

It sounds like you’re at a crossroads, and that’s perfectly okay! Since you’re interested in improving websites, why not consider a career pivot within the banking sector into design or user experience (UX)? Many banks are constantly working to improve their digital platforms, and your background in banking could give you a unique perspective on what customers need from an online banking experience.

I appreciate your response to my first post here, was a little nervous but said why not. definitely at some crossroads, thinking about all the different choices and decisions to make that will give me the most success. But yes, I believe something like that is what I will try to look for eventually, when I can find out how to get there. When you say design, you mean like design of websites?

If you're working inside a bank you've got an advantage in that you will be able to find out a lot about various aspects of banking. You should learn about the different departments in your bank and see if any of those would interest you. If you pick a specialty, you can go for certifications in that area, and apply for jobs in that part of the bank. Banking is a relatively broad field, and from your current position you could move in a lot of directions, it's just a matter of ascertaining what you really want to do.

thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post. You’re 100% right, being in the role that I am, I get exposed to a bunch of different situations. A bunch of different things like commercial banking, scrum manager, analyst, and business banking seem interesting to me. I wonder if I would be able to do certifications in some of those until I know what direction to go to.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry.

I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
