Regional Banking Director
Business & FinanceYou oversee multiple branches across a region, which means you spend most of your time in a car driving between locations and on conference calls with corporate. Every branch manager reports to you, every underperforming branch is your problem, and every new regulation is something you have to roll out to 200 employees who don't want to hear about it. The salary is executive-level, and so is the stress.
