Insight into Santander CCB

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you might expect working in Santander's Corporate and Commercial Banking (CCB):

• Pay: While specific figures for Santander aren't provided, corporate banking salaries can vary. For example, analysts in corporate banking roles under a Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) structure can make a comparable amount to investment banking counterparts, with a ~20% difference. As you move up the ranks, the disparity in pay may widen, but top corporate bankers can still earn significant amounts.

• Culture: The culture in corporate and commercial banking can differ from investment banking, often offering better work-life balance. The hours might be more manageable compared to the high demands of investment banking, but this can vary by bank and role.

• Exits: Exit opportunities from corporate and commercial banking might not be as varied or prestigious as those from investment banking, but they do exist. Skills acquired in financial analysis and client interaction can be valuable in various roles within finance, such as corporate finance, treasury, or even moving into a more advisory role.

Remember, these insights are general and can vary widely depending on the specific institution and its structure. For Santander-specific information, it would be best to connect with current or former employees or check out more detailed threads on the WSO forums.
