Why did i leave IDBI??

Main ideas / lessons

• Reason for resignation from IDBI Bank: The speaker resigned because they were selected in Haryana Police.
• How their IDBI journey began:
  • They joined IDBI in 2024 after earlier selections (2022–2023) without joining.
  • They’re from Chandigarh, but their first posting was Chittorgarh, Rajasthan—far from home.
• Early struggle as motivation: The speaker describes high pressure initially due to:
  • Long distance from home (~1000 km)
  • Office timing (9:30, meaning they reached home around 7–8 AM)
  • Big branch workload
• Work ethic and learning: They emphasize that doing more work leads to more learning, contrary to advice to avoid extra work early.
• Using official guidance (circulars): They stress reading circulars, explaining that these contain complete guidelines for correct procedures.
• Targets and product knowledge (LIC mentioned):
  • There are LIC-related targets and other scheme targets.
  • Success depends on thorough product knowledge so the employee can explain confidently and keep customers interested.
• Daily routine includes more than just targets: Alongside daily work, employees must handle scheme targets such as:
  • APY (Atal Pension Yojana)
  • JJSBY (as named in subtitles)
  • Other government-related targets mentioned
• Salary increment is performance-linked: Increment is tied to performance ratings (PG1/PG2/PG3).
• Starting salary is relatively strong: Initial salary is stated as ~₹50k. The speaker claims it’s better than many private banks because IDBI is “semi-government.”
• How they prepared for exams while working:
  • Live close to the bank to save commuting time (walking distance / 15–20 minutes max)
  • Use tiffin/food delivery to save cooking time
  • Time-saving helped reserve time for exam preparation
• Discipline and consistency: Preparation requires daily practice and discipline; it may be hard at first, but it’s doable while working.
• Whether to join bank job or focus on other exams depends on age/situation:
  • If young (around 20–21) they may continue preparing or leave the job.
  • If older (24–25), it may be harder to clear remaining exams—so they suggest joining.
  • Family/financial situations also matter; the speaker suggests deciding based on personal constraints.
• Value of starting with a difficult branch: The speaker feels their difficult early posting helped later because their current job is described as much more relaxed:
  • 9:00 to 5:00
  • Saturday/Sunday holidays
  • Roughly ~10% of the work compared to their earlier branch
• Overall mindset: Problems may be teaching experiences; there’s no need to “run away.”

Method / instructions (step-by-step style)

For joining and handling the job effectively

• When you first join the branch:
  • Don’t avoid work—work more to learn more
  • Read circulars thoroughly:
    • Understand the guidelines for correct processes and how to work
  • Rely on help at the start from coworkers/seniors
• Build support for later:
  • Keep strong contact with friends and seniors
  • Save numbers of senior staff for questions
• For targets (especially LIC):
  • Study the product deeply
  • Learn enough to explain confidently to customers
  • Use product confidence to improve customer interest/sales

For exam preparation alongside a bank job

• Minimize commuting time:
  • Stay within 5–10 minutes walking distance (or max 15–20 minutes)
  • Avoid longer commute to prevent wasting time
• Save time on food:
  • Use tiffin/food delivery so you don’t spend time cooking
• Create daily practice habits:
  • Practice/exam preparation every day
  • Expect early difficulty with timetable adjustment, but maintain discipline
• Reason it’s possible:
  • They prepared during the same period they were working and achieved selection—so consistency can work for others too.

For deciding whether to join the bank

• Consider your age and stage of preparation:
  • ~20–21 years old: may focus on other exams too
  • ~24–25 years old: joining may be wiser since clearing remaining exams can be harder
• Consider family/financial situation:
  • If there are financial issues, joining may be necessary to stabilize life
• Base the decision on personal circumstances, not on one-size-fits-all advice
