Lmao, I for insult you for that werey wey you write but you talk sense sha. Thanks

Solatium:
So what does it mean when you wrote that you tried to switch from your department to other?

Cos I don’t see a career path in my department, doesn’t mean I’m complaining about it. I’m only trying to chart a path for myself and plan my life.

chineduuf:
At the end of the day, it is your choice chief. I am an explorer and a risk taker. I can't even survive a job I don't enjoy doing for 6 months.
There are other people who would stick to bank A due to FOMO and that's fine too.
From the little you typed, you sound pretty much smart enough to always get back on your feet.
I'd say ditch the job you don't like and find a new path MIGHT enjoy. What's 20 months to spending another 48 - 60 months doing something you don't like? That's the origin of frustration and depression.

Like I said, it's still your choice to make if you are a FOMO or an explorer.

Best!

Thanks a lot

You want to go to Access Bank because of car? Abi you think say the car na free? Throw away over a year experience that you can use to get the ABO in another bank. I sorry for you.

Na Marketing you go land for that Access.

Madam I currently have a car, never mentioned the car as the reason for wanting to have jobs

Solatium:
You have not worked for up to 2yrs and already complaining,the problem with most of these millennials is that you aren't patience.
if you keep changing jobs at this rate the next set of employers will see you as a non loyal employee.
You are just a young blood for goodness sake, don't be over ambitious

I don’t remember complaining about my current department, kindly read to understand the post.
Thanks

Key rules in Nigeria banking industry.........

Never do a parallel grade movement between banks, always take at least a grade higher at the next bank with significant pay rise;

Never stay more than 3yrs in a bank except promotion/notches is guaranteed like Stanbic IBTC & Providus Bank currently, where you get promoted at least once in 3yrs, if your performance is good;

If you are not in Treasury/E-Business/IT related roles, keep moving to other banks to rise through the ladder(that ladder is now like civil service);

Don't be afraid to take up opportunities in "small banks" due to perceived job security in "Big Banks", I'm sure Diamond Bank has taught a lot of bankers a good lesson;

Operations Staff both at branches and HQ are the most vulnerable, don't be comfortable in such unit.



My Advice...........

Stay in bank A; identify, write professional exams & learn skills that are relevant in banking (especially in the units I mentioned above) if you desire to continue your career in banking industry. Banking is sweet if you are in roles that are in high demand, you can easily rise to a managerial position in few years.

Bank B will make you sign a bond of at least 3yrs for that car(most likely a new Kia Rio), you will have to pay the prorated balance whenever you are leaving before the end of the bond period. If you have to move to Bank B, it should be as an experience hire.

Now is the time to acquire skills that can easily get you to SBO before 30yrs of age. Invest in yourself now & you'll be glad you did in few years to come.

Cheers.

Thanks a lot, I guess with some certifications, I’d get a better experience hire role

famopompy:
Hello, I am a banker. The fact is, irrespective of the department you are, just relax and grow. 20 months experience is too valid to just throw away when you use another 6 - 8 months and get ABO in another bank. Bro, don't accept it. I know the bank that comes with the Car is Access and the truth is the banking School is so tough. Don't jeopardize your job to start as entry level again.

Thanks, Bank A it Is

being:
Of course you said it yourself how are you sure when you get to the new bank, you won't be sent to the branch which you know is worse. And you should know in access bank, your stress levels is much higher than in other banks. The car incentive you are talking about is a liability trap.
In access bank, you can easily drop from TS due to various flimsy reasons. You would also need to look for millions worth of deposit before you have an offer.
Just know you don't want to go to access esp not to go and start over in a branch (sic) . STAY PUT in your UBA & look for opportunities to other banks at higher level or other departments. Common don't be foolish and be wicked to yourself.

You must be a UBA staff to know Bank A is UBA. Thanks, I’d most likely be staying with Bank A

AuroraBrls:

You want leave GTB enter Access? It will end in premium tears

Gtbank isn’t the Bank A

Basicend:
The guy is in GT bank and wants to switch to Access Bank.

Contend me if am wrong. It's obvious.

Lol, you are actually wrong with the GTbank

myke92:
OP.,

The only reason you are considering Bank B(which is probably access bank) is because you don't like the department you are currently in, right.?

Well, personally, it's not enough reason to move to Bank B, as you don't know if you may also end up in a similar department.

So, what I suggest is stay put where you currently are and keep developing yourself in other ways that you can.., and hopefully you may eventually be transferred to another department.

Thanks

Fathai:
stay with bank A .. try to invest in any business you love. Quit the job when you are stable. Simple

Hmm, don’t think I want to start any business in Nigeria of today. maybe until situation of things improve

Please don't choose Ecobank.

Lmao, ecobank isn’t an option

Hi guys,

Pls I need the advice of the public here.
I have been an ET with bank A for about 20 months now at the bank’s head office in a department I don’t like and that doesn’t have a career path. So I’d basically be doing the same thing for years to come. The pay is basically 200k which is quite comfortable monthly. I have tried changing departments within the bank all to no avail. I want to leave the Dept asap so I don’t get stuck there due to age. I’d be 25 later this year.

I started the Entry level recruitment for Bank B a month ago, maybe to start again as an ET probably in a better department with a better career outlook. Right now, I am almost into Bank B’s training school. Bank B pays lower than Bank A, but comes with better perks such as a car. But I’m worried about having to start again and lose 20 months of work experience. The issue is I’d have to be in Training school for some months and collect about 25% of my current salary monthly until TS is over. Also, I don’t know what Dept I’d be posted to assuming I take the Bank B job offer.

What advise can you give me pls?? Also note both banks are in the top four banks in the country.

Should i remain in Bank A and keep trying a change of department or a change of Bank as an experienced hire which is a very slim chance

Or

I take the ET job and start all over from Training school in bank B

Shamelessness!
Something the criminals y'all support couldn't do for 16 years.
Y'all should hide your heads somewhere.....(trying to be polite)


Nothing to counter our post with, just their chidish insults.
This is what all the criminals you support for 16 wasted years couldn't do, they rather looted them money amongst themselves.
But all you can type is 'go and sit down jare'.
Wailers usual tantrums, no sensible thing to counter with.
Gone are the days when you have mature political discussions on Nairaland, now politics section have been overtaken by kids, uncultured kids.

What a Shame....a COLOSSAL shame!
PDP: Shameless party of looters and supporters.
You should bury your head where no one will see you

You no get kobo head, the smoke grill don confuse you finish. Is lagos metro line a FG project or state givt project?? Everything is political to you, still wondering how much you sold your soul for though
