Career Management
Gibson Tullberg is particularly interested in making the right appointment at the right time for an individual`s career.
An example of sensible career modelling for a typical Private Banker building a track record around client relationship management, for instance, might look as follows:
| Age | Event | Remarks |
| 25 - 30 | Analyst/ Junior RM | Gain technical experience and acquire client book |
| 30 - 35 | RM role, Tier 1 or 2 bank | Develop client book |
| Option point 1 - Consider international assignement | ||
| 35 - 40 | Senior RM/ Team leader Tier 1 Bank | Grow client related business |
| Option point 2 - Move to family office, regional business or own practice | ||
| 40 - 45 | COO/Regional Head Tier 1 Bank | Maintain client contacts |
| 45 - 50 | Head of Private Banking Tier 1/2/3 or Alternative Investment Practice | Clients relevant to bank or hedge fund/absolute return operation |
| Option point 3 - Own practice, regional practice and commence capital creation plans/exit strategy | ||
| 50 - 55 | CEO/Head of Private Tier 1/2 Banking for geographic operational area | This phase must realise a capital sum reflecting career achievement |
| Option point 4 - Retirement/consultancy | ||
Obviously there are a variety of permutations, whilst life events will also impact on progression. The key aspect in our view is the achievement of capital creation.
This aspect is not the sole confine of the CEO or equity holder. Senior Relationship Managers who hold genuine demonstrable client accounts can trade these in on leaving full-time employment from the broad scale Tier 1-4 institutions.
Getting career planning right is an art form and the bulk of candidates remain reactionary to change rather than proactive. You can only act proactively if you are allied to up-to-date information and intelligence.
A successful career is in the eye of the beholder, however, many of our most successful candidates eschew the bigger name houses and achieve marked rewards and security for both themselves and their clients.
