Will My Reduced Experience in the Relieving Letter Affect My Banking Career Move?

tayaru-budireddy
I have a total of 6 years of experience in banking. Previously, I worked for one of the largest private sector banks for 3 and a half years, and then I joined an older private sector bank, where I have been working for the past 2 and a half years. However, last year, I was suspended for 2 months due to a fight with a staff member, but the suspension was revoked, and I resumed work.

I have now received a job offer from another bank, and my current employer will provide a relieving letter with everything in order without mentioning any bad remarks. However, they will mention 2 months less in the active experience section.

Will the Reduced Experience Affect My Background Verification?

My question is: Will this reduced experience affect my background verification (BGV) with the new bank? If they calculate based on my joining and last date, it will show 2 months less. Will this impact my banking career, or can I continue without any issues, and what do I need to inform new employers about those 2 months?

I don't think so. What you gained is a valuable skill set. Companies will focus only on your skill set, not on the experience you gained. Don't worry, friend, just two months will not affect your career in any format. So stop worrying about the past and look out to the long future.

Hi, a two-month break is not a criterion, but what is important is your suspension. During the background verification (BGV) process, if your ex-employer shares information about your suspension, it might impact your career.
