Experience Joining IDBI as an utive and Job Posting Preferences
Many individuals are considering joining IDBI Bank as utives, wondering if the bank caters to job posting preferences or if it merely posts roles as available. I have worked as an utive in IDBI Bank for a while now, and I can share some insights about my experience and the realities of joining the bank.
Job Posting Preferences at IDBI Bank
No, IDBI Bank does not ask for job posting preferences from utives. In my experience, Human Resources (HR) does not inquire about where you want to be posted, though many of my colleagues have received job postings close to their hometowns. I, on the other hand, am located about 500 km away from my hometown, which represents a fair distance for many.
During my training period, HR did not seek my preferences regarding posting locations. This does not guarantee that you will be posted far from home. Many of my colleagues have received job postings closer to their hometowns, suggesting that the bank does provide some geographical flexibility.
Experience as an utive in IDBI
Overall, my experience has been positive, but it varies depending on the branch where you are posted. I am in a metro branch, where there is considerable work pressure. However, having supportive colleagues can significantly alleviate this pressure. The work environment can be challenging, but the camaraderie among team members can make it more bearable.
One of the more demanding areas at IDBI is the pressure related to LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India), which involves selling policies. Despite the pressure, it is essential to remember that other private banks do not offer the same level of salary, which can be a factor to consider.
Work-Life Balance and Job Pressure
Handling job responsibilities and preparation simultaneously can be tough. Being an utive at IDBI Bank requires a significant amount of effort and dedication. If you are looking to build a long-term career, IDBI may not be the ideal option. The bank may be a good temporary job for someone who is currently unemployed but is not sustainable for those with a stable preparation schedule.
Having said that, I am currently balancing my job with preparation for other banking examinations. While it is a challenging task, financial stability allows me to handle the pressures of work and preparation. I highly recommend continuing your preparation if you are considering joining IDBI.
Final Thoughts and Advice
Joining IDBI Bank as an utive can be a valuable experience, especially given the handsome salary offered compared to other private banks. However, if you need to focus on deepening your understanding of banking concepts or if you are not prepared to handle job and preparation simultaneously, then it might not be the best choice for you. Take your time, think wisely, and make an informed decision.
Feel free to explore all your options, and choose the path that best aligns with your goals and aspirations. Whether you decide to join IDBI or pursue other opportunities, remember that experience and preparation are key to success in the banking sector.
