To all cribbing about their banking jobs.
You folks seem pretty unfortunate to me; with a not so tech savy bank, no attention, meager salary, and no awareness at all.. Well, let's start with perspective. Some folks seek respect, some crave power, some desire money, some want work-life balance, some goes for challenges, and the list goes on and on... But these parameters are bank cum location specific. An RBI officer enjoys a CTC of 11LPA+ , barring bonuses, and xyz variable components. Even at the likes of PNB and BOB, CTC is nearly 6.. And the lad is a scale-1 manager- not an employee under whom nobody is working. Talk of IT-career? An engineer is just above a poen/guard in that huge firm; managers rule the realm. But a guy in these banks/government jobs gets the chance to manage folks over 40-50s, vastly experienced- yet naive at technology. A private one(xyZ without a reputed MBA) doesn't have a clue of ruling over folks more experienced than him/her(barring exceptions).
Now again, that depends upon the aforementioned parameters. Let's not talk of job security, some folks can still manage their families after godforsaken happenings, without hands, or braindead or with no efficiency(pun intended!); ______ private firms are well known for that eh! And what about sycophants! A lady getting laid for some old AM, men licking boots/playing politics for a silly promotion, while a diligent one blamed for the lack of self-marketing!(comments like dude/lady I know you're doing good, but it's just not showing.. visibility isn't there..) But no that doesn't happen in bank, unless one's a retard nobody can stop his promotions. That's what differentiates losers and winners, some retire as scale-1, others become AGM/DGMs.
A bank isn't bad, just that some of the government/IBA policies are anti-bank; the kind of work these folks do- it's sensitive, if done in an ideal manner. Working hours, and reimbursement shall be of higher standard, better than central gov.. employees- who do nothing better than playing in offices.
Talk of awareness? Not all of us appreciate consumer-dealing; there exists domains like Treasury, wealth management, HR or one may try for branches abroad..
Negativity comes from within.. appreciate your financial career, make it big.. agar feeling nai aate... that means you just followed herd mentality, became a victim of marketing, and lacked the in-depth research you should have gone through before getting yourself into mess. baaki agar GM/DGM sun na acha lagta hai but culture lethargic hai.. things going wrong.. bad place.. bad people.. fir bhi cribbing not worth it... jisko tension nai lena vo scale-1 pe nai lega... na he scale-5 pe... 6-7pm nikalna toh nikalna hai.. loans voans hote rehenge.. akela insaan saara kaam thode he karega.. jaisa environment dekho.. waise adapt karo...
Period.
