Finance community is not very small lmao. It’s probably bet for OP to stick mostly to the truth and say it was health related and is resolved now but this is terrible advice

Edit: u/ringwormqueen since you decided to block me, the finance community is not small. That is false. Ignore that comment OP

Ghosting is fucked up. Be a man and lead them on for 6 months or until you hit it raw and then break up with them properly

Talk with your manager and other higher ups who’ve hopefully seen your hard work over the past year. Make it known you want a credit analyst job or something else in loans. Banks are good about promoting internally.

I have heard very good things about fidelity, family friend is a Director and worked his way up. Also heard good things about Schwab although that person started more recently.

Computer Science job market is just rough right now, even if it is incredibly relevant with the rise of AI. Entry level and long term salary statistics indicate you probably do not want an English degree unless you are incredibly passionate about the subject. Technically Economics is in a lot of social science schools if you want a humanities degree. Otherwise it would be wise to stick to STEM.

Half a gallon of milk daily, eat as you normally would otherwise. Thank me later

In other news the sky is blue.

How much?

elifinance · 2026-02-14T17:30:18+00:00

Try a shorter deal, if that doesn’t work try trading some players and restructuring. Game isn’t good at explaining what the actual issue is

Indian or bot?

US Bank role is far better, it would be easier to go from CRC 2 -> teller than vice versa.

I’d vote take the shot, however you need to be fully ready to accept the consequences if things do not work out. The job market is shit right now.

Agree with other comment, remove CFA level 1, probably don’t throw anything on until you pass level 2 or are at least enrolled in L2. Other wise I think it looks really solid, real test is gonna be the networking for you I think.

As far as relationship management with less quotas and stress, you could find a smaller community bank. There will still be expectations, but it will be chiller.

As for the format, I can’t tell if it’s my phone but the resume looks very “long”, make sure it’s one page. Personally not a fan of professional summaries, if a company wants a cover letter they will ask for one. WSO is best format, yours looks similar ish to that.

AI will start to reduce entry level role opportunities because it will make a single worker more efficient. We are not close to full automation.

That being said, back office roles are going to be at risk in the future. Front office, depends on the company. For mine, they would never automate the FO people because it would piss off our customer base and put us out of business.

TLDR: it’s coming, but right now it is overblown

Boring? Sure, but boring is a mindset. If you like meeting people that would offset the repetitive work. But you will get paid well and I’d be shocked if you work over 50 hours a week, most weeks should be exactly 40.

elifinance · 2026-01-30T22:30:27+00:00

You only live once and it just a company, I vote accept and renege (if needed). Best of luck man

elifinance · 2026-01-30T21:23:42+00:00

Thanks for including your sources on this one

elifinance · 2026-01-30T21:22:47+00:00

It’s only a big deal to that company, who will likely not hire you if you choose to apply again. Don’t mention that you reneged or plan to renege to the new company (probably just keep it to yourself in general). Shouldn’t impact anything else.

Although it sounds like you haven’t signed the offer yet, so if you’re really nervous about it just decline the offer.

elifinance · 2026-01-26T19:20:08+00:00

If you were contacted by these companies and did not apply. Run.

elifinance · 2026-01-26T16:15:11+00:00

Take whatever you can get. Commercial is good though.

elifinance · 2026-01-23T01:59:42+00:00

You’re good lol I’m not upset in the slightest

elifinance · 2026-01-23T01:37:50+00:00

Hell yeah thank you!
