Vantaggi
It was great to be the one of the few to be an expert of communications, multimedia content creation, design and UX and etc. I lead communications tools that were commercial client-facing and felt my job meaning and rewarding. I really enjoyed working with me team, who were business enablement managers that focused on coaching Relationship Managers on the latest RBC products and tools nation-wide. It was a nice role.
Svantaggi
There aren't many design/comms related roles in financial institutions, so to move up or to have a clear career path is challenging. You would be competing with people with more tenure or have stronger connections. I ended up venturing out of the career and chose something more finance-related within in the bank.
