Is Bank po a bad job? I am going to give sbi po mains next tuesday..I have a good offer from wipro..But my uncle who is a Grade C manager in RBI advises me to not to go for ibps / sbi po because it is one of the worst jobs and sales target pressure will kill you..need some insights..He even asks me to try rbi or lic assistant for a lower pay but not BANK PO at all..

Don't listen to your uncle. Relatives are people who don't want to see you grow more then themselves. They will try to divert you to roles such that you always are below them. Aise uncle's ko kans mama kehte hain.

I have worked in public sector bank for 6 years and then resigned to join back IT. PSBs are in way bad situation to work. RBI Assistant or Grade B is very good in comparison to other PSBs. In fact LIC or any other regulator like SEBI, SIDBI, NABARD etc are also better.
If you want to work in public sector, aim for any regulatory body and go there.
I will highly discourage to join any of the PSBs.

concentrate on your exam for now, whether you want to take the job or not, you can decide later also

I worked in both Sbi and IT. DM me..can guide you

Give the exam without any pressure. Joining or not is a choice for later.
You can always try for other exams after joining.
Just don't settle in private job. As a SBI PO, you get so many benefits which will save a hell lot of money from your salary plus the social status.

Hi, what lateral hiring happens? It does happen for private banks from MBAs but correct me if I'm wrong, there still isn't any external hiring rather happens within the existing team for SBI/RBI and all nationalised banks?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
