Retail Banking?

Hey everyone,

So I know everyone here looks down upon retail banking. I understand why as well, but it seems as if it's my only opportunity as of now. I'm currently a senior at a non-target and have had multiple ib interviews but no offers. I've interned at two boutique IB but they could not extend an offer because they simply couldn't afford too. I still have a few months before I graduate and I will continue to network and apply for jobs but my chances are looking pretty slim. Any advice on this?

Also, I think I'm going to go ahead and accept my only offer, which is a position as a Relationship Banker since I have so much anxiety about graduating without a job. I'm super broke and in desperate need of an income right now. What are my chances of being successful enough in this role and eventually being able to lateral to a different position within this bank?

Also what is the career progression like if I were to stick it out in retail? Right now they're offering me 50-60k, what would my salary look like in 3-5 years? And would I receive any commission on the CC's/ accounts I've opened?

Thanks
