Generally, what would be the pay range for someone in private banking:
- at entry level (roughly mid twenties)
- at mid thirties
- at mid forties
- at mid fifties
What would be the (roughly) title of such a person at each of the above stage? I am talking about someone performing the role of private banker or an associate moving up towards the role of a private banker, and not the support services....

what is ur background? have finance related internships or jobs before?
what is ur education? Preferably finance background, CFA a plus, a good uni degree with good honors = analyst. A good masters = associate.
are you good looking? Be honest.
Can you sell? any sales related jobs u r doing now? are you prepared to be judged by sales? you can sell = high bonus. If not, you can say bye bye.
can you network? What do you usually do to network? u attend networking events? U haf rich frens? u play golf?
sometimes u may start low first, as personal banker, meaning the ones that are at neighbourhood banks or small branches asking auntie uncle to buy from u... u may haf to do that first until u r really good enough to handle the big fish... are you prepared to do that for the first few years?
its not easy but if u can sell, u can do v well later in life...
qualify for the job first than ask abt the pay...
these are what i heard from my private banking friends...
