If you start your career as a front-line officer in a retail bank now, you can generally expect a promotion in about 2 years time, subject to good performance. If you are currently responsible for CASA customer acquisition, you may get an option to handle relationship banking where you will be responsible for not just customer acquisition but also cross-sell & up-sell of all the retail products of the bank. If you maintain good performance levels, you can aim for elevation into the level of Branch Manager over a 5-8 year time. Branch Managers head bank branches. If you are keen to continue in a pure sales profile, you can hope to get elevated as a Sales Manager over 2-3 years time & further as Area Sales Manager & above.
Overall, this industry is very good for growth.
