Anyone work / worked in a bank branch?

I think tellers only earn between the 35-45k annual salary, I may be wrong though!

Teeki works in a bank I think, hopefully she'll pop in

Thanks lovelies, salary is important as it will be a step back, just how much is the cruncher! TT40 if you could ask him how much he's on if he's happy to share?

He probably has a couple of options open to him with a strong sales/management background, just needs the industry experience from retail to banking.

Yep, I do!

Kelly, from what you've said I wouldn't recommend your DP applies for branch positions (eg tellers, sales consultants etc). I'd be recommending he looks into the business side of things. The training is done on the job, the pay is higher, and it sounds like he has the skills he's after. At the bank where I work, he could apply to be an assistant manager, small business specialist or business banking manager. All pretty similar roles with slightly different responsibilities and pay levels. They can be positioned in a business centre (like in Melbourne he might work at the Docklands) or in a branch.

As an example, I started as a graduate assistant manager straight out of united in 2006. I think my pay was around $46k. Three years later (which included pay raises based on performance) I took on a business banking manager role. I'm now on $84k I think, including super and leave loading.

I hope any of that helps, feel free to pm/email if you'd like more info

ETA: With your DPs skills, because he won't be a grad and things have changed since 06, I don't believe his starting salary would be as low as mine was. Especially if he aims for small business specialist - that's what I'd be applying for in his position.

ETA2: Just re-read your post again. If he's already an area manager and has a proven sales record, I'd recommend he apply for business banking manager as a minimum, or relationship manager (the role above the assistant manager, definitely nice pay level there!).

This has been really helpful, thank you so much! Thanks for such an open and honest reply. Can I ask which bank you work for? If you prefer, email me kelly@bellybelly.com.au.

I don't mind saying I work for ANZ, I think I've mentioned it somewhere before and I've not said anything I shouldn't Let me know if he'd like any info about the different types of jobs to see what he might be interested in, I can send it in an email.
