Hi all,

I am currently interning at a regional sized bank in the midwest (~$45-50bn assets) within the commercial banking arm. I met some of the ER guys and there is a spot open in their group.

I believe there are 4 analyst and 1-2 PMs, the bank lumps this team into their PWM arm and they manage around $6-7bn.

How does it differ from more traditional ER roles at BBs and what would pay/exit opps look like?

Im hoping to relocate after graduation but this position would require me to stay in town which isn't what i prefer, but it seems like this is a golden opportunity to gain some experience and some buy side exposure.
