i dont think its just RBC, ive heard the same from a peer who used to work at HSBC who quit because of the guilt of selling products that resulted in people's financial situations going to hell. you probably wont be able to avoid this, because you're going to have a quota to meet

the next time you drop by a bank, pick up all their pamphlets and see what products they sell. things like securities, bonds, mutual funds, resp, insurance and whatnot.

any licenses that you hold will be your asset into getting a position. CFP and CSCs are fantastic to have. if you plan on staying in the banking and investment world, it'll be a good idea to get them!

if you have personal conflicts about things like that, then maybe you should consider transferring into the financial management accounting option?

do you have any investments? it might be a wise idea to start up a portfolio if you dont. its a great time, too. there are many opportunities for high earnings right now.
