This thread is for resilient bankers who enjoy promotion and moved from one bank to another in search of career growth so we can share experiences and advises to young bankers.

Despite the fact that people see banking as a job without security, some people are making it big time, enjoying up to three promotions in year, yes three.

I work in a first generation bank where I've seen people who work for 30 years and received promoting three times in 30years. Today we have banker jumping from bank to bank getting next levels.

Bankers, come and share your experiences.

am nt a banker

I do not like banking

*

saved, till when I join you guys

Banking hmmn, my only advice to bankers is always have an exit plan.

Not everyone will AGM Gm etc, at a time a level will be saturated and rationalisation becomes inevitable, those that will survive are super performers, ass lickers, and owners family.

Banking is a good foundation for for young person as it will teach you resilience, know when to say is ok and please save save and save.

To your question on when to throw in the towel when you stay for about 4 years without promotion or any new challenge unless you are no ambitious

By the way I was a banker and now a proud entrepreneur

Today is my birthday

Banking= Job insecurity and time consuming.
I like my snail farming business: The product is always in demand, flexibility of time to share sweet moment with family and the space for new things, nearly zero market competition, relaxed source of income, etc. See my profile for details.

OP, mind shedding some light on the bolded?

I don't care, banking job is modern slavery, especially to the first level entries.

Thread since 2015?..you will surely get there with persistence,just dont give up...wetin mod dey think since all these years

Yup

That sub-sector used to be good in those days but not now.

I worked in several Banks over the course of 13 years. I started as teller (Cashier) and worked my way to HOP before my exit. It is an industry that rewards hard-work irrespective of your background. However, they place a premium on integrity. If you don't have it, please exit the system or it will deal with you. You earn comparatively well but in the moment. Meaning compensation is structured not for your long term benefit but to make an exit quick and less costly to them.

When to quit? There is no determined point just like any other career. There are also no guarantees. My best guess would be when your heart tells you to go. When entering the sector however, make it an obligation to yourself to leave on your own terms.

It is a great starting point for young ones and my advise would be to follow your heart and passion. If you have service qualities in you then go for it.

Professionalism.

OP please don't exaggerate about 3 promotions in a year. the truth is that the banking system has changed. If you want to move up quickly in banking you can bank hop or be a top class performer. One more thing,banks are actually the best place to start your career because to gain valuable experience especially financially, which will help you in the future.

in the system presently...
