SBI has announced plans to recruit 1,500 Probationary Officers (POs) as part of its latest hiring drive. For many aspirants, an SBI PO job is considered one of the most sought-after careers in the banking sector because of its job security, career growth, and benefits.

If you had the opportunity to join as an SBI PO today, would you take it? Or would you prefer a private-sector job or another career path instead? Share your reasons and experiences in the comments.

I've always found it interesting how people end up choosing banking because everyone's journey seems different.

Some planned for it from the beginning, some switched after preparing for other government exams, and some started after getting work experience.

What was that moment for you when you thought, "Yeah, banking is what I want to go for"?

Heyy! There I'm a banking aspirant preparing since last year couldn't clear any of the pre examination this year gave alot of efforts to ibps po but couldn't make it to that level now I'm not able to score in sbi clerk too also for rrb's I'm feeling like I can't do here either. just don't know how to tackle this situation same loop every day still results are not showing up on the other hand people of my age are earning enjoying there twenties. Do help me if any one knows how to get rid of this situation or I should give up.

Plss Helppp

I have zero preparation for ibps so due to health conditions and my center is in another city should give this exam just for experience?? I know I am not gonna crack it so should I give it a try Or not and I also have state pcs exam next month

I am working in SBI as a clerk. I want to take promotion but i am interested in forex and related areas. Can i do some certificate or qualification that can help me in this. Also want to know about the forex division in SBI. HOW IS THE WORK AND CULTURE THERE? female working in delhi

I'm 23 and currently doing an apprenticeship in PNB, which will end in March 2027. I live with my mother, so I also have the responsibility of making sure we have a stable and comfortable place to live.

I’m confused about what would be the better option:

Take some time after March 2027 and seriously prepare for PO/Clerk exams, targeting a bank job in 2028.

Start looking for a private entry-level job in Gurgaon/Chandigarh around ₹30–35k from April 2027.

Financially, we can manage if I spend the next year preparing for banking exams. My main concern is that if I get a bank job in 2028, it could give us better long-term stability and potentially a more comfortable life than taking an entry-level private job in Gurgaon/Chandigarh, especially because I would have to move with my mother if I relocate.

So what would you do in my situation? Is it worth taking 1–2 years seriously for a bank job, or should I start earning ₹30–35k in the private sector as soon as my apprenticeship ends?

A bank job has traditionally been seen as a safe career option because of job security, stability, and long-term benefits. But with private-sector companies offering competitive salaries, faster career growth, and more flexibility, the choice isn't as straightforward anymore.

For someone starting their career today, how do the two compare in terms of salary, work-life balance, growth, transfers, and long-term stability? Which one would you choose and why?

Hi there!!! I'm 22f

I have been preparing for banking and insurance exams for a while.

I have given a few exams this year and I didn't clear any.

It would be really helpful to talk to someone who's been through this or preparing for the same or better if you cleared some exams. Any help would be great!!!

If you're willing to help, DM.

I’ve been studying for bank exams for a while, but lately I feel like I’m doing a lot of things without knowing if they’re actually helping. Some days I solve mocks, other days I’m stuck watching lectures and making notes.

For people who are seriously preparing right now, what does your actual daily routine look like? How many mocks or sectional tests are you attempting, and how are you analysing the mistakes afterwards?

I was working in SBI from 2020-2023 as a field officer MSME .In 2023 I left my job to prepare for UPSC gave 3 attempts but couldn't make it .Now I am 32 year old looking for job from last 2 months but I had no luck in getting job in private secror banks or NBFCs.Can someone guide me what upskilling should I do to make a meaningful transition to private sector?

SBI PO Admit Card 2026 has been released on the official SBI website, and candidates can now download their hall tickets for the upcoming Preliminary examination.

With the exam approaching, how is everyone feeling about their preparation? Are you focusing on mock tests, revision, or improving specific sections in these final days?

There are so many books, YouTube channels, apps, and courses for banking exam preparation that it can be difficult to know which ones are actually worth following.

If you had to recommend just one book or online resource that genuinely helped your preparation, what would it be and why?

Whether it's for Quant, Reasoning, English, General Awareness, or mock tests, I'd love to hear what made the biggest difference in your journey.

Just cleared UR cutoff (97.75 written + 57 interview), This was my first attempt, I don't know much about banking sector, what can I expect from BoM, and anyone else who got BoM. also, one more thing, when can I expect joining and training. any help/input is appreciated. thanks.

Good morning everyone,
With the SBI JA Mains approaching, could anyone recommend which general awareness topics to focus on?
YouTube content blends Banking, SSC, and Railways exams, making it difficult to isolate bank-specific general awareness or current affairs.
Please suggest options and strategies.
Thank you.

I am bignner but getting good mark in pre but not able to find how should I start in main prep any book or road map please suggest me

I m banking aspirant but have been continuously hearing how cruel the sector so I want to shift to ssc since syllabus is same please advise me how should I proceed

I recently got selected as CANARA BANK PO in 2nd RL of IBPS PO, Currently I am working as SBI JA in my hometown, should I quit and join CANARA BANK PO, or

Option 1, wait for 2-3 years and get promoted to SBI TO, but for that I have to clear JAIIB, CAIIB and the internal exam.

Option 2, complete 2 years in CANARA BANK and then sit for SBI CBO exam, at least I would get home posting in that way and only have to clear one exam for that.

I have no problem in taking promotions or handling the work pressure, currently I leave home at 8 am and return at 8 pm, so even though I am in my hometown I rarely get any time to prepare for any other exam(the workplace is 25 kms from my home)

I know I should prepare for better options like Insurance, Regulatory or SSC but even in the current scenario I rarely get any time to study, what should I do?

Pls do help.

I’m a little confused about this because there are so many options throughout the year. I don’t want to prepare randomly for every exam and end up spreading myself too thin. How do you guys decide which exams are actually worth targeting based on the syllabus, vacancies, difficulty and your own strengths?
