I'm a SI (Sub-Inspector) in the CBI. I chose this career path because i was very passionate about it. However, 3 years in this job, i feel done with it. Its hectic, no work life balance, constant travel, raids. I found this thrilling at first but now i feel like i want stability. My sister did MBA from a lower IIM and is earning better than me.

Is it a good decision for me to resign and do CAT prep?? My parents are against this idea because of government job factor. They are telling me to give SSC-CGL again and chose Income Tax Inspector this time.

But salary wise, the ITI pays just the same as CBI SI, if not less. My in hand salary is in the 85k to 95k range. Maybe it will be increased due to the 8th Pay Commision. I do get some respect when i tell people that im in the CBI but frankly im not power or respect hungry.

Im stuck, need outside perspective on this.
