I am working with a public sector Bank as Chief Manager. I am having 13 years of experience. I wish to change my career to certain sector with better work life balance. What are the options I can explore ?

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

Ans: Usually people who work in Banks remain in Banks and you would have better growth opportunities there. So look at option of applying to MNC Banks or other private Banks as you would have higher chance of being absorbed at a higher designation and pay.

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing in your current role. It's crucial to prioritize your mental and physical well-being, and considering a career switch can be a step toward a healthier and more fulfilling professional life.

Reflect on your skills, interests, and what aspects of your current job you enjoy or excel at. Consider taking a career assessment test to identify potential career paths aligned with your strengths and interests.

Use your banking experience to become a financial advisor or wealth manager. This role allows you to work closely with clients to manage their finances, investments, and retirement planning. You can transition to a corporate finance role within a company, focusing on financial planning, analysis, and management. You may decide to leverage your banking experience to move into risk management or compliance roles, focusing on ensuring organizations adhere to regulations and manage risks effectively.

If you enjoy mentoring and educating others, consider teaching finance, banking, or business management at educational institutions.

If you have a business idea or passion project, consider starting your own business. This allows for more control over your work environment and schedule.

You can use your extensive experience to become a consultant in banking, finance, or business operations. Consultants often have more flexible work arrangements and can work on diverse projects.

Switching careers can be daunting but also rewarding if it leads to a healthier and more satisfying professional life. However, with your experience, it should be a fairly simple thing for you to do.

Prioritize your health, do thorough research, and make a strategic plan to achieve a successful career transition.
