Why i left my SBI Clerk job and IDBI JAM job ?

Reasons for Leaving IDBI JAM and Shifting Back to IBPS

The speaker from “Banking with Avani” explains why she left two banking tracks—IDBI JAM and then SBI Clerk—and why she later shifted her focus toward preparing for IBPS again.

Issues at IDBI JAM: Culture, Incentives, and Workload

• She describes the working culture at IDBI JAM as poor, noting:
  • No recognition or appreciation for effort
  • Lack of incentives
• She also mentions insufficient staffing, which meant employees had to do extra work regardless of circumstances because customers would get upset.

Salary Concern at IDBI

• She shares that she later noticed her salary decreased after two years.
• She is unsure why it happened, but believes it might have been possible for her salary to increase instead.

Transition from IDBI to Focus on SBI

• Despite being posted at IDBI, she says she prepared for SBI seriously.
• She also notes that colleagues questioned why she would leave a “home posting.”

Positive Experience at SBI, but Timing Didn’t Work

• She praises SBI’s work culture as “amazing”.
• While she acknowledges office politics exist like in any workplace, she overall had a good experience.
• She felt the work was manageable because she had already done a lot during her earlier preparation/training.

Marriage and Constraints: Travel + Full-Time Study

• After her marriage was fixed, she faced long-distance travel challenges.
• The schedule required her to:
  • Attend office (including weekends)
  • Study full-time
• She concluded it would be better to leave and prepare to clear the next exam from the city/place of her marriage.

Plan to Clear IBPS

• She says she wants to give 100% effort to IBPS and clear it from the location where she married, rather than waiting for transfers.

Conclusion

She concludes that she has no negative feelings about SBI, implying she might not have left if the transfer timing had been more favorable.
