Hello I am working in a psb from last 8years. Currently i am holding manager position in the bank and want to switch in profile other than finance . I m graduate in agriculture and have no active skill in IT. In which sector i can move ahead.

Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. Given your background in statistics and experience in banking, there are several sectors you could consider transitioning into that leverage your analytical skills and managerial experience. You could explore roles such as data analyst, business analyst, or data scientist, where you would use statistical techniques and analytical tools to derive insights from data and inform business strategies. Your managerial experience could be beneficial in roles such as operations manager or operations analyst, where you would oversee and optimize operational processes for efficiency and effectiveness. You could also explore opportunities in fintech startups or established fintech companies, where you could contribute your expertise to develop and implement cutting-edge financial solutions as well. Additionally, within the finance sector, there are departments that are increasingly adopting new technologies and skills, providing opportunities for growth and transition.

In terms of finance departments that are more inclined to new technologies and skills, areas such as financial technology (fintech), quantitative finance, and financial analytics are increasingly adopting advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and big data analytics. By developing skills in these areas, such as programming languages (e.g., Python, R), data analysis tools (e.g., SQL, Tableau), and understanding of financial markets and products, you could position yourself for roles that are at the intersection of finance and technology.

Ultimately, the key is to identify your interests, strengths, and career goals, and then explore opportunities that align with them. Consider networking with professionals in your desired field, gaining relevant certifications or qualifications, and seeking out mentorship or guidance to support your transition. With your background and experience, you have valuable skills that can be applied in a variety of sectors and roles beyond finance.

Ans: I have known students working in PSU banks doing Executive MBA after working for 5+ years. They eventually get placed in MNC Banks. So write the GMAT and try applying to colleges like IIM A B C ISB XLRI for executive MBA course. Do some research before you start your journey.

Ans: Hi,

Thanks for writing, well the otherside of the grass is always greener..!

The banker cannot be banked upon, the doctor cannot doctor his approach and the engineer can't always engineer success.. I have said it on record.. Maxim Emmanuel.

Now that you have had enough of the banking industry that banked on you and you on them for last 17 year's and many an aspirant clamouring for a bake.. Oops bank!?

Here you say you are done and dusted, so what's in your mind, I really don't know your core competence and qualifications, abilities and capacities!?
So why should I shoot of my hip ... Suggest I mean!?

I believe you need to understand whats in store, when you do a cross career switch, where your core competence of finance and accounting procedures, may be needed in NBFC and corporations.. O did I suggest.. Yes I did.. Go to corporate website go to careers and swing in your CV.. they may or will bank on you and your expertise!

If you do need further professional advice happy to assist
