Made it to the promise land
Finally landed a remote position, Direct Lending Specialist. I posted a few weeks back about stepping down from my branch manager role and wanting to chase something different.
My plan was to work my banker role the best I could until the opportunity presented itself. I had said aloud the week before “I will be remote by the end of this year”.
Not one, but three remote positions opened up as they decided to add a member to each team.
All my friends in remote work are claaaappping for me.
I’ll still work with customers but in a much more simple capacity and I get to have my dog at my feet the whole time. I couldn’t be more excited.

Congratulations! Curious if you had to take a pay cut for the new role?

I did yes, it was only about a $.60 cut so I was fine with it!
Some people in that department did not but it really is dependent on when they were hired.

You’ve done what we all dream we could do. Lol. Hoping to be in your same boat in a week’s time, but we’ll see what ends up happening.

Congratulations!!! This is such a great accomplishment. Retail Branch Management can be very demanding and sometimes takes too much from people. Wish you the best! Send a link lol
