job change

Question

coworking

Hi all. I would like to know your opinion. At the moment I work as an incoming system administrator with a fixed salary. I received an offer to work in a bank, but for a full-time job as an engineer, i.e. this is a trip to the point and service of small branches of the bank. The question is the following. Is it worth changing jobs if the salary in the bank does not exceed the salary in the current company? It’s just that at the bank, during an interview, some told me “this is career growth,” while others said that there was none. Thanks

PS: the question is raised because it's a big decision for me. This year I just graduated from the university and the work experience is not so great

. PPS: thank you very much to everyone. Decision is made.

Answer 1

I advise you not to go.
The banks are now extremely bad - the crisis is affecting. They will force (!) to plow a lot (!) And the corporate culture will have to be observed. No career growth.
The only plus from employment in a bank is that later, after leaving the bank, one can say that he worked in a large organization.

Answer 2

There will indeed be career growth in the bank, unlike (as far as I understand) your current job, but this career growth will be _only_ on one condition - you will work like hell. Otherwise, you won’t see any career growth and change the awl for soap =) It’s better to find yourself a dula, you will have more money, since you, as far as I understand, have enough free time.

Answer 3

Go to work in a bank, and in that company remain an incoming system administrator with a certain range of working hours (from 19 to 21 hours, for example, or on weekends). You can keep up and it will be your insurance in case something goes wrong at the bank.

Answer 4

"Career growth" and other "buns" - can be a trick. So it's up to you to decide whether to change jobs or not.

Answer 5

Are you confident in your knowledge? Do you feel empowered? Ready to change your routine?
Go to the bank.
In addition to career growth, in the bank you can get a bunch of useful contacts (both in the bank and in integrators), the opportunity to study at the bank's expense, you will work with really serious systems (which may not be in the office).
If you prove yourself from the best side, then car. growth and wages will go up.

Answer 6

Where would you like to work more?

Answer 7

Keep in mind, when working in a bank, we will face a situation where problems need to be urgently solved in the next few hours, or they must be solved before the end of the day, even if you stay in the bank until night, but decide! Because the Central Bank is so strict that if the bank is late in submitting reports on time, it gets a very serious fine. And also, you may often have to pull the support service for banking products, because. there are some reports, overdue the date of delivery for which, the bank may generally be deprived of a license. You decide! On the one hand, this is a serious hardening, a very rapid increase in experience, but on the other hand, it is stressful.

Answer 8

Changing a job even for a better offer is always a nervous tension. If you happen to agree to work in this bank now, then before leaving there you will also be nervous and worried. It does not depend on the bank, it is generally stress. :).

Answer 9

Do not go there. Do you live in Almaty? There you can keep ten desks on incoming administration (well, if you work well) and earn a decent amount. We have a person from Moscow who came to you to earn money (!). He returned satisfied, looked at everything, spat, went to live in Astrakhan, opened a mobile phone repair office with the money he earned. For six months, or something, he went.
And the bank is a job for a small salary. Promotions shine for you in ideal conditions - acquaintances of all sorts of “effective managers” will always get to positions a little higher. Irregular schedule, blah blah blah. Moreover, if in system administration the amount of your work essentially depends only on you (set up poorly - fix it all the time, automate everything - drink tea), then here you will have to forever clean up errors for other engineers, fight typical bugs in equipment.

Answer 10

I strongly advise you not to go to the bank. Strict regulations, well-established (even rather stagnant) technologies, no career growth, often because of this, inadequate bosses. About zp I generally keep quiet.
Of course, it's up to you, but all my friends who used to work in the banking sector speak extremely negatively about their previous job.

Answer 11

to begin with, define the terms and separate them from the noodles. Where will your career grow?

Answer 12

that is, plus - serious work, minuses - the same salary, irregular hours and other banking abominations. IMHO, plus insufficient to go to the bank. Find a job that pays more, and also a serious office. With your experience, this is quite realistic.

Answer 13

Although it's too late, but, as a former bank employee (honestly worked for more than 3 years in one), I'll put in my 5 kopecks:
In a bank, like in any other workplace, there are a lot of pros and cons.
Of the benefits: preferential maintenance of accounts, deposits / loans on more favorable terms; as a rule, a good social package; accumulates excellent real-life experience and a beautiful resume.
Of the minuses: an insanely lot of bureaucracy, especially with regards to information security issues (despite the fact that the latter can be at a rather low level); all IT people have an unlimited schedule (I remember how it took almost two days without breaks for sleep and tea, I had to fix a serious failure); very vague growth opportunities (and don’t listen to fairy tales about fast career growth. in the three years that I worked, not a single person, I repeat, not a single person in the IT department made a fast career for himself. and in general, there were very few promotions and new people , despite the fact that the bank was in the top 20 largest banks).
Well, with the team and other goodies, everything is as usual: as lucky. (Where I worked, by the way, there was a great friendly atmosphere, and an extremely friendly team). Well, salaries from bank to bank vary quite a lot. Somewhere they can pay a penny, but somewhere very decent money. Even in the starting positions.
