I graduated this year with a bachelors in finance. I just accepted an offer at U.S bank as a corporate portfolio monitoring analyst at 66k. Is this a good position to get into straight out of college? And what should my future/salary look like down the line? Any tips or recommendations would be truly appreciated. I would love to learn and see what career path I can follow taking this route.

I live in Missouri so I’m not sure what cost of living looks like in your area but from an experience standpoint, I’m sure it’s a great opportunity. I was a credit analyst right out of college (2020) and I’ve doubled my salary. Portfolio management is a very great skill to gain out of college. I’ve only worked in small banks so this may be easier said than done for you but don’t get locked behind your computer. Create relationships with lenders, other analysts, credit admin, etc. because those connections will help guide you to/through your next role.

I stayed an analyst and learned as much as possible about different career options at my first job. A role opened up on the loan processing side at the same company when I was about a year and some change in so I took the leap. A few months after that a different Bank reached out to me to become an AVP- Lender so I took another leap. I wouldn’t suggest hopping around unless the opportunity presents itself and/or your work environment becomes toxic. You won’t grow if you don’t go outside of your comfort zone!

That's a good start. You can start building your experience and then move to a higher position. You can also negotiate for a higher salary. Congratulations, btw.
