2 offers

So a bit about me, I have historically worked at smaller regionals and then relationship banking at a bulge bracket. Credit background turned relationship based banker but my credit exp was smaller biz. Now looking at the below

Debating 2 potential offers — thoughts?

  • Citi (AVP RM) – ~$150K base comp, Series 79 & 63 licensing, exposure to debt, and massive career upside in subs coverage. Long-term prestige and optionality, but more grind and bureaucracy.
  • BNY Mellon (Sr. RM) – ~$175K comp + job comes with west coast travel. Better take-home/lifestyle, but no licensing and capped long-term growth I feel like (treasury/liquidity focus).

In short, feel like I may be capping myself with BNY but the comp is pretty good for 30. At the same time, think I could push from AVP to VP in a couple years and BNY doesn't even offer that distinction of VP etc. Moreso at CITI I wonder if I can push myself to make director etc.

Thoughts?
