Giving a gift in the situation you described is permissible and not considered bribery. Working in a bank is permissible if it is an Islamic bank operating according to principles. However, if it is an interest-based (riba-based) bank, working there is forbidden because it assists in sin and transgression. Therefore, the questioner is advised to avoid it and seek permissible work, for Allah provides for those who fear Him.
