2024 Commercial Banking Q&A

Hello WSO Community - 

I recently eclipsed the 10 year experience milestone in Commercial Banking and would like to give back to the community in the form of a Q&A. My experience in banking started as a Credit Analyst in 2014 and have worked my way into a VP role on the relationship management side of the bank. I'd be happy to answer questions and hopefully help out students/recent grads/young professionals as you navigate the beginning of your career.
