Anyone here working as an SBI Card executive or who has done it before? How's the work pressure and can you manage the job and studies together? I'm about to turn 24, and I haven't cleared any banking exams yet. I haven't studied properly for them and I feel stuck in my comfort zone.
I really want to move out of my parents' house, and I've always dreamed of a banking career, though I didn't expect a sales/executive role. I don't want to keep attempting these exams until I'm 28. I already have anxiety and I'm worried it could lead to depression.

Has your exam cleared, bhai?
Bhai, try an HR or desk job where you don't have sales targets. You'll get time for preparation. Plus, in a bank you're always forced to meet those targets anyway.
If you go that route, I'd suggest the KYC/AML department. You'll learn a lot and, God forbid, if you can't get into a bank or any government job, you can still do well in the private sector – big‑4 firms and others hire heavily in this area. Best of luck.
Leave the banking sector and try to get into a corporate job.
Your first few years shape a big chunk of your future – that's how it works for most people, regardless of what anyone says. Don't settle for less – you're only 24. Keep your chin up and hit the books hard.
I have a cousin who worked there. The pressure was unrealistic – no matter how hard you try, hitting the targets is tough. If you miss a target, they make you stay in the office until 7 or 8 pm, you can't leave. They also cut your salary, basically turning your life into a nightmare.
Try a corporate job – you'll get a better position.
Same story, sister... we're all in the same boat.
Which exams are you targeting?
I'm 24, turning 25 this August. I've completed my MBA and did about six months as an HR in the NBFC sector. From my experience, private‑sector sales jobs are not worth it – if you're thinking of a sales role, skip it. I started my exam prep in February. If you want to work in the private sector, look for an HR position – it's a desk job with regular 9‑to‑5 hours. I left my previous role because of low pay; initially you'll get around 23‑25 k in‑hand, which is decent. If you need HR contacts for other companies, just DM me.
