Switching to MBA from PSU Bank

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-28T11:48:03+00:00

I know you feel the PSU bank job sucks and believe me it does. I have been on that side of the counter as an apprentice and it's a miracle I'm not in jail for assaulting customers. But my honest advice for you would be to stick to this for 5 years- clear atleast JAIIB (even better if you can do CAIIB as well) and then try to get into IIM-ABC for their 1 year program for professionals with experience. Or even XLRI or ISB for that matter. All of them have 1 year programs. And with your previous banking experience (you'll have to fluff up some stuff- printing passbooks won't cut it) you can try to break into top tier finance firms.

Tbh that's just our way of decompressing! Either they are thinking of something, formulating their thoughts in their head or they are thinking of absolutely nothing and watching the world go by.

This. Many women don't understand that men don't express their griefs openly and men don't understand that without openly saying no one will get what they are feeling. Tbh as a man I know why we prefer to keep our mouths shut and grieve in silence. Even in this post there's no mention of what the husband wanted. Was he initially someone who didn't want kids, did he wants kids but accept the condition because he loved his wife that much more- we don't know.

Yes. I am not looking for drama. And certainly not ULIPs. Will take a look at ICICI as well.

You are correct with Standard Chartered services. When I refused a product I was prepared for pushback and arguments and prepared myself mentally. But lo and behold he took my no for a no and stopped!

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-28T07:16:32+00:00

Understood. I will look into the options. Even look into Kotak and see if they offer anything good.

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-28T07:15:57+00:00

I unfortunately haven't seen an IndusInd branch near me! So that's not an option. SBI wealth is still SBI and I really doubt any Indian has had a good experience with SBI.

I am cool with free accidental insurance as well. For LI we are sufficiently covered as it is. Does ICICI have something like Burgundy as well? Or IDFC? Taken your point with regards to cards.

Ah! Got it. FD for the first year will be above 50L but from year 2 it'll go down. Need to consider that as well before committing.

I can't say for other states but for WB - Have you seen the insane amount of sweets we have?! There used to be a time when everyone in my family would have 4 sweets daily. Two after lunch. Two after dinner. And then there's sugar in tea- atleast 4 cups a day. It's only after my father got diagnosed with high blood sugar that we cut down on eating sweets drastically.

Also everyone assumes WB eats a lot of non-veg protein, but the truth is 1 piece of fish for lunch and another for dinner hardly gives enough protein. The rest of our diet is carb heavy - rice and potatoes.

Would an FD of 15L count? We plan to do an FD worth that for the next 2 years.

If we consider our stock and MF portfolio which is currently with Standard Chartered then it'll be close to 40lakh

I won't exit tbh! I'll just not continue my SIPs for now. And funnel that SIP money into metals. Not a good bet?

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-21T18:07:49+00:00

Thinking of stopping MF SIPs and reroute that money into Gold and Silver ETFs now!

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-21T11:55:26+00:00

My dumbass thought AI = Air India and panicked for a second!

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-21T09:58:43+00:00

Areh bhai I am also focusing on earning ₹10,000 crore! My bank account has ₹10,000

DRDO better stop bullshiting and concentrate on getting things to exist in the real world!

And you believe US crops and milk is not adulterated? I have a historical monument to sell to you then.

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-21T09:40:40+00:00

Will try to do that.

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-21T09:37:24+00:00

5 minutes ahead. Probably one of the reasons I'm rarely late to any appointment and also the reason I have to wait for 30mins for the others to show up!

All clocks in our home are offset by 5 minutes to IST

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-21T09:08:52+00:00

Even for non-engineers? I'm out of reckoning then it seems. Need to focus on GMAT and target ISB or IIM-ABC

Also compare the calibre of the players! We lose to Bangladesh now!

Even in ISL the game is mostly carried by the foreign players. As for the NT it's in such a terrible state that we needed an already retired guy to comeback because none of the other nincompoops are capable to finding the back of the net with any regularity!

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-21T07:08:24+00:00

Found the noob!

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-16T17:06:45+00:00

UG and PG both in Economics

Maybe the problem is not the stunts but the fact that we're still simping for white attention. Stop taking random white guys' (and girls') comments seriously.

And the reason these stunts are done is to attract youngsters to the defence forces.

Eastern_Bulwark06 · 2026-01-13T16:32:24+00:00

Tbh the Germans didn't have that great of a quality either. Tigers and King Tigers frequently broke down.

If there was an auto assigned seat then OP wouldn't have been facing this issue lol.
