“Plan After Graduation as an SBI-PO or Going for Entry Level Private Sector Job”

As an SBI PO vs. other entry level private  Job after Graduation : In This discussion, we will compare SBI PO with an Entry Level private sector JOB on the following Parameters. SBI PO vs Private sector(EL)Job:An Analysis Dear Aspirants, Each and every one of us desires a job which not only is comfortable but keeps challenging us and hence give us growth. Moreover we aspire for a job which helps us utilize our skills to the max and give a sense of purpose. Life becomes an amazing journey in this case. So what actually is a good career option. Well the question is debatable but the inference is, only that option, in which we see ourselves working hard and partying even harder, is where we see our holistic growth, both personally as well as professionally. If we take  as an example of IT & Technical sector (Because biggest manpower sector) In the last decade, the IT industry has emerged as the preferred choice for youngsters of our generation, ‘dream job’ as we call it. If you are an engineer from a good college, you will definitely prefer getting a campus placement in top IT companies viz. TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro and the likes. We love these multinationals for their ‘culture’, ‘growth’, ‘perks’ and what not. But it is only after we start working for these behemoths that we realize that all that matter  about corporate life and work culture was a mere delusion, a smoke screen. We write codes for 8-10 hours daily, 5-6 days a week and it becomes monotonous. We realize our growth has shunted and find ourselves in the middle of an ocean with no land in sight. Nothing is exciting, challenging anymore. Consequently there is no development and of course no growth. Life becomes an endless cycle of being slave to deadlines. After months and months of sulking and endless deliberations, the reality hits and we pledge to ourselves ‘Not Anymore’, but then we are faced with another equally profound dilemma “If not IT, then WHAT?” Well we feel we have cracked the answer to the ultimate question and it is: “SBI PO”  or SBI-SO and also IBPS-PO/SO. SBI PO is one of the most sought after job in India. It is a guarantee of a secure future coupled with the prestige of working with in the government sector. We will compare SBI PO vs Private sector entry level Job to see if it’s really the answer. Be become SBI-PO before October 2016 Tentative Schedule:

  Status symbol as an SBI-PO vs PSEL-Job Let’s face it, unlike the western world, in our country the respect we get from still others matters. Be it for Marriage or relatives/friends or in laws of siblings. IT industry was and is the dream sector for the Indian middle class. If you are working in a big shot IT firm, nobody will bother about your other credentials. ‘Naam hai bhaiya naam or Naam hi kaafi hai’. An SBI PO, though less suave is considered equally good. *So decide now on above!  Online courses is also available just call:-7045914606.   CETKing Statrting fresh batches from coming Monday with All India Ranking Test Based module.   Contact us:- Dadar-9930028086 / Vashi-9820377380/  Thane-9167917984 / Vile Parle-9833579791.

IT companies were riding high on the Y2K growth and things were all rosy and good. Then came the 2008 Recession and mayhem spread. IT employees got new words in their dictionaries ‘Pink Slips’, ‘Layoffs’, ‘Debt’. Though the present situation is better than 2008, nobody and we stress NOBODY can safely predict when the next recession might hit and sweep us with it. IT industry is prone to market forces and any day can very well be your last day at the firm. This coupled with the automation revolution has rendered thousands if not millions of IT industry stewards useless. To improve bottom lines, companies are reducing the flab and are going agile, making mass firings a norm. For more information visit:- www.cetking.com Do not believe us check out the following article in prominent national daily talking about over15000 recent job cuts in IT Industry:- layoffs *See below what say surveys of Times of India (15,000 pink slips in the tech corridor and still counting)– LAYOFFS Bangalore Mirror Bureau | Jan 17, 2015, 06.26 PM IST At least 15,000 techies have lost their jobs in Bengaluru in the last one year. Already reeling under layoffs by software giants TCS, Cisco and others, the city’s tech community was delivered a knockout punch on Wednesday with news that Luxembourg-based mortage and financial services software company, Altisource, has issued pink slips to over 300 techies at its Electronics City campus here on Wednesday. Though Altisource did not issue any official statement, the news spread like wildfire, triggering panic among the already jittery workforce. However, the development was confirmed after Bangalore Mirror spoke to a couple of Altisource employees. “Even in my wildest dreams, I had not imagined I would be thrown out of my job…my world turned topsy-turvy in just 20 minutes when I was summoned in the afternoon and given the march orders. I did not know how to react. I could see some of my sacked colleagues crying aloud, some begging with the HR personnel to give them time and some reacting angrily,” said Rohit (name changed on request), an assistant manager with seven years of work experience. Rohit’s dilemma now is to break the news to his family and deal with the aftermath. “What do I tell my family? How will I pay my car and housing loans?” He is worried about landing another job. He can draw measure of comfort from numbers, however. According to industry trackers, at least 15,000 techies have lost their jobs in Bengaluru in the last one year. “The frequency of layoffs has increased. From IBM, Dell, Cisco to HP, almost all the big companies have cut jobs. The latest being the TCS layoffs, which has culminated in techies hittting the streets to protest,” says an industry tracker. In fact, sacked TCS employees have planned a protest meeting in front of the Town Hall on Saturday. If losing their jobs wasn’t bad enough, being terminated for ‘under performance’, widely brandished by most companies, seems like the unkindest cut. Companies, though, maintain they are cutting jobs as part of market expansion and growth strategy which involves getting rid of redundant employees. Altisource, which has reportedly cut down jobs at its facility in Boston, US, issued a statement there that read: “After a comprehensive process to evaluate the most effective way to pursue continued expansion in light of changing market conditions, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to realign our employee base with the growth opportunities in front of Altisource.” Meanwhile, its employees in Bengaluru have lashed out at the “inhuman and cruel” treatment. “First of all there was no prior notice. We were just asked to leave immediately. Two months compensation is just not enough. If the company cannot accommodate us then why did it have a massive recruiting drive just two months back?,” said Kaushal (name changed). Bangalore Mirror wrote to Altisource for its comments, but the company did not respond. The Karnataka government has taken note of the retrenchment and the rising fear factor among the city’s tech population. While labour minister, Parameshwara Naik, admitted several tech companies were seeking permission to issue pink slips, Information Technology minister, S R Patil, said it was nonetheless “a major cause of worry as we want to compete with Silicon Valley (in the USA).” Patil said they would soon convene a meeting with industry representatives to discuss the issue. Nasscom downplayed the fears stating it was a part of the routine clean-up process at software companies. Ashok Pamidi, regional head, Nasscom said Karnataka was facing a demand-supply challenge. “Right now, Bangalore needs 46,000 skilled and job-ready people to work in the industry. The reason for the layoffs in individual companies might be because of completion of a project or internal reshuffling. The industry is doing well and there are no signs of a slowdown,” he said. A dangerous bell curve, says ITEC “IT employees would never have thought of ‘bell curve’ being so dangerous. Companies have been terminating employees with a ‘C’ rating, which stands for ‘met expectations’. But even when the employees who get the lowest rating are terminated, the termination would not stand the test of law if they are not given a chance. While employees are terminated for “skill mismatch”, companies like TCS go on recruiting new employees for the same skill. It is high time IT employees muster the courage to challenge these unethical and illegal practices by companies. IT Employees Centre (ITEC) asks the respective governments to intervene in the issue immediately to protect the right of employees to work and also to ensure transparent processes in the IT industry in the long run.” (ITEC is a rights body for techies) More job cuts on the anvil? The labour department appears to have been aware of the layoff wave in IT companies in the city. Speaking to Bangalore Mirror, Labour Minister, PT Parameshwara Naik said, “Every company has to obtain prior permission or keep the department in the loop about intended lay offs. Some companies have taken permission and informed us about their decision to lay off employees.” When asked about the details of such companies, Naik refused to divulge the information saying the companies came under the purview of the IT, BT department. ‘Not a 2008-like situation’ “The layoffs happening right now are part of the clean-up process. Every company does this every two to three years when they ask non-performing employees to leave. Also, one of the operations of Altisource has been transferred to US. While I am not sure of the exact number, an operation can have 200 to 300 employees who might have been sacked. However, there is no need to worry. The IT industry is doing well. We are not in situation like 2008 where people will be sitting jobless for a year. People will find jobs immediately. If not in Bangalore, they will surely land jobs in Mysore, Hubli or Mangaluru. It is just that people will move from Company A to Company B.” —Kris Lakshmikant, Managing Director, Head Hunters India   CM to convene meet with industry honchos Taking cognisance of the massive retrenchment, a worried state government has decided to call a meeting with industry honchos to take stock of the situation and put in place damage-control measures. Speaking to Bangalore Mirror, Karnataka’s IT/BT minister, S R Patil, said, “The layoffs are shocking, especially since they come at a time when the state is planning to compete with the Silicon Valley in the US by attracting more investors and also creating an employee-friendly environment.” Patil expressed concern that the largescale pink slips would send out the wrong message and spread panic among the workforce. Stressing that the government was serious about tackling the problem, he said the CM would soon address a meeting of representatives from the industry and laid off workers, besides government officials, to discuss the way forward. “A decision will be taken on safeguarding the social security of techies.” By: Apurva Venkat)                                                       (Source:-Times of India)}.     Just Enroll with CETKing & get unlimited Chapter-wise/Section-wise/full length updated pattern SBI-PO & other Govt. Exams Test papers. Enter the Public Sector Banking Industry. Though 2008 crisis was a result of bankers not being able to control their greed, it didn’t affect the jobs of people working in SBI. Even in the darkest times there hasn’t been even a single mass layoff in the history of SBI. What is necessary IT jobs have a requirement – You need to know how to code. If you are not from CS/IT engineering, you either slog endless hours to learn it or ‘Tata Bye Bye dream IT company mein job’. We see civil engineers writing long lines of codes and imagining ‘What wrong did I do with my life.’ On the contrary Bank PO doesn’t has any specific requirements. You can be completely yourself and you will be considered. Everything you learnn is on the job. The only requirement is to clear the SBI exam. Golden Thing:- Salary & Perks The main bone of contention among all the candidates – Salary. A salary of an SBI PO is higher than that compared to other entry-level IT jobs. The CTC package of a  probationary officer in SBI is easily around ₹8-12 lakh per annum. And also you are Organization responsibility about your all basic needs SBI also gives you leased housing and allowances for things like newspapers, chai and even furniture. I mean WHAT!! Almost 30-40% of the salary of an IT industry worker goes to pay his bills, rent and transportation. Compared to this, SBI POs are able to save more as their housing is taken care of. Golden thing is Salary & Perks so go for as an SBI-PO Life as an SBI-PO In an IT job, you have uncertain timings at work, working in nights ( so that you can manage your US client’s timing) and no holidays on many occasions. But that’s not the case with SBI. Timings are fixed. You get more holidays than IT industry. This means you get to spend more time with your family and friends. You will never work on Holi, Diwali, Eid and Christmas more than 100 leaves per year. So as an SBI-PO it helps a balanced life. Career Growth It takes around 10 years of blood and sweat to become a Mid level Manager in an IT firm. Even then there is always a sword of uncertainty hanging over your faith. If you join as a probationary officers (PO) in SBI, you rise to become Branch Manager within 3-4 years and if you are fortunate enough, you can rise to the post of Chairman. According to above parameters we find as an SBI-PO is much better to than always a private sector job Either IT Industry or other Industries.   Online  & Crash courses are also available just call:-7045914606.   CETKing Statrting fresh batches from coming Monday with All India Ranking Test Based module.   Contact us:- Dadar-9930028086 / Vashi-9820377380/  Thane-9167917984 / Vile Parle-9833579791.
