I am a science graduate, aged 45 and working as a branch manager in a nationalised bank. I am non-corrupt and financially well placed. Of late, it is becoming very difficult to work in the present tension atmosphere of banking, particularly after the VRS offer was given in the year 2000. Work seems unrealistic, responsibilities are many, risk is more, targets are irreasonably high and slave to everyone. We have to keep running instead of steadily working. Cannot get sufficient support from lower rungs in view of the protection they are enjoying due to their service conditions. I am interested in computer software. I wish to take voluntary retirement from bank and to do deep study in software for acadamic purposes only. Is my decision prudent ?
Shall I continue to work as Branch Manager or take VRS at this age of 45?symantic
Personally I think software field is a good one to study for, knowing that there will always be something that you can do, programming, designing, implementing, consulting and so on. The only thing that I am not sure is the pay, but since you said only for academic purposes, I guess the money is irrelevent issue for you.
If the VRS offer puts you to more work and less time for yourself, I would suggest to stay as Branch Manager, since you are already well established financial wise, so why should you give it up? Working under less pressure is good for your health in a long run, which is something that you should be looking into.
I hope I was a bit help to you, good luck!
