Do you like liking in Pittsburg or do you want to move to Atlanta?

Pick the job that in in your location of choice.

To be honest, location is the big difference here. whichever company you choose, it's not that hard to switch companies in a couple years once you have experience. But it's a major thing to move several states away. If you are ready to move now and WANT to move, then do it while you have the opportunty.

if you want to move in a few years, "life" circumstances might change. In other words, you are likely to meet a significant other in the next few years (if you dont already have one). Often the significant other has family ties and then you end up staying put in the original town. If you want to move far away....do it now while you can. FYI..Atlanta is a wonderful city and so are the suburbs and the entire state of GA is wonderful.
Thank you for your insight, I chose to stick with PNC. Yes, Atlanta is a wonderful city! I love it there and i pray that in the near future God willing ill be able to move there!

This is sort of on-topic, an opinion on the industry.
I worked for MBNA bank in Wilmington Del. the 90's, and it was a cool place to work with game rooms, gyms, dry cleaners etc, like a whole city unto itself, but wow, they want you to sell your soul. They owned you and expected your life to revolve around work. Not saying it would happen there, just an observation about the culture in another of the big banks.
Good luck in whatever you decide.

Good choice. Given BOA's stock price recent history (aka market cap), I expect them to be bought in the next few years, and you do not want to be a newbie in that situation, as the buyer's employees in the same program as you will get preference.

BOA was essentially bankrupt, but got bailed out the by govt because it was "too big to fail." I think the culture would suck there.

With their stock price on the rise for the past year I really think they are a good pick to get bought....

Or not.

BoA is closing down branches for a number of reasons. But the main reason is because people don't bank in branches anymore. They used to have a branch every 30 feet it seemed like. Now, not enough people want to go to the branch to get money. so in an essence, they're saving money by not having as many branches.
They get to sell/not lease the office space and They don't have to pay those employees.
All with the same amount of income. I think that looks GREAT on a balance sheet if you ask me.

also, let's be honest, what company has the available cash or credit to buy BoA that would actually be of use to them?

But as far as the OP goes, I'll give you props for going through with the branch management career path. It isn't something that I would ever want to do. It was offered to me when I worked at a credit union and I gave them a very firm... Nope!

I doubt if anyone will purchase BofA. Any of the top 3 banks that could actually afford to purchase would be prevented by the government, so BofA will continue to be #2 probably for ever.

skinnayyy- why did you steer away of branch management?

As a branch manager, you will be on the retail side of banking where customer service matters most. Why would you go to a company reknowned for its horrible treatment of its customers? Google BoA requires man with no arms to provide fingerprints before allowing him to withdraw his funds. BoA is everything evil about corporate America
