ok..so I work for a bank, in a account manager position...at HSBC Bank to be exact.
I have indirectly been offered a promotion to a new account manager role that would allow me to manage accounts of high end clients ($350K+). After this position, a managerial posititon such as a branch manager is very near, and even closer if I have my MBA.
Now, I am 24 years old (turning 25 in 2 months), and when offered this, I explained to my current manager although I would love the position and would be earning about 55K as opposed to 43K...I know how clients react to relationship manager turnover and it is a huge problem in the bank b/c clients like to have a relationship with their account managers.
I simply said " I would love the job and would be great at it, but since I dont not want to hurt the company and have clients upset over the turnover again (huge problem in the bank and lot os complaints) because I will be leaving to pursue and MBA in 5-6 months. "
My manager was VERY happy I was honest with him and totally understood my point of view and 100% agreed with my. Although it a good opportunity, I would rather obtain my MBA now.
My question is, should I mention this situation to the ad com during interviews?? Would they look at my turning down a pormotion to obtain my MBA and not hurt the company as a positive move on my part???
any info woould be great!!
Thanks,
