Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
You may continue your employment at the conventional bank until you find an adequate alternate halal employment. You should make abundant Istighfaar while you continue your employment at the conventional bank. Also make dua to Allah to open your doors for a halal and Shariah compliant source of income. Recite the following dua after every fardh salah.
“Allahuma Aghneenee bi Fadhlika `Am-man Siwaak”
Oh Allah, (grant me) independence by your virtue for anything besides you.
And Allah knows best
