SBI PO vs FCI Assistant

 This wasn't an easy decision at all. Infact I would count this as one of the toughest decisions of my life. Only I know what kind of feelings I was going through for those few days. SBI PO is a dream job for millions which comes with so much of societal respect, best salary package combined with good promotional opportunities. For me SBI PO was like a dream which I thought would never be a reality and now I was having the opportunity to join this prestigious organisation. I was getting prepared to join SBI when suddenly FCI released the result. I wasn't expecting any positive result and to my surprise I found my name in the final list PDF. From inside I was very much sure to join SBI but the very next day I started searching about job related information of FCI AG3. At the same time I interacted with so many SBI employees. I wouldn't go in much details. There is no comparison of FCI AG3 and SBI PO. SBI PO salary package cannot be compared with even Manager post in FCI. But what almost everyone said is “If you want a good work life balance then SBI is not the place for you”. At the same time FCI employees said that work-life balance is very good but promotion and salary is not that good.

I asked my inner self “what do I want in life” and got my answer. I know that I downgraded my professional career - From an Officer to an Assistant. I might be sounding like a fool but right now all in all I am satisfied with my decision.

Tomorrow I received an email from SBI to join the 2nd batch. This is the final call. Now I am going to send the refusal letter.
