...and was wondering has anyone worked for them before?
I've a QFA and 4 years banking experience overall. I'd assume this would stand well to me?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

From your QFA and 4 years you are way overqualifed for this. If your looking to work for the govt and stability fine but otherwise I wouldn't. This I don't think would help you long term, to me it's a big step down. I don't understand why they pay so much but this is a public service job unless someone else can explain.

Stability and salary are my main attractors on this one. Especially considering the major downturn in profitability in the financial secotr. My training has me lined up for roles in the mortgage industry, which has been hit hardest.

Would you recommend I go for a different type of role? If so, what kind? I'd love savings and investments but all the banks that offer these roles require at least 2-3 yrs experience in that same role, i.e. they want to poach existing S+I advisors from other banks. I have the knowledge but i've only ever been an on-the-floor slaesperson and a telephone advisor for loans/credit cards.

Thanks for any advice...
