Hello all ,
I'm a graduate of biochem and trained my self in various it skills. I recently got a contract role as an engineer(it) that pays around 90k for one year with a 50% chance of being a full staff after one year. Where salary could be increased to about 200k.. Now I got in as a graduate trainee in one of these banks and salary from what I heard is about 200k.

During the interview cause of my cv the hr guys at the bank asked if I would be interested in working at their I.T department and I said yes, they however said they can't promise anything yet.

My delima;
1. I have no experience in banking. I'm majorly interested in I.T but as stated earlier the bank could not promise.

2. The current place I work has an excellent work culture,but 50% chance of being retained

3. I have heard how brutal banks can be In terms of sacking, I belive as a graduate trainee it shouldn't be that bad.

4. I'm also passionate about entrepreneurship, I believe banking would help me along that part.

5, Someone told me once I'm in the system(banking) It would be easy to switch to I.T even if they post me to another department.

Ps: please if u have experience working in the bank your input would be appreciated,, I would like to get an overview of the work culture in banks, how easy it is to switch to another department. And most importantly job security as a full staff

Hmm
