Band Change
If someone applies for a band 4 role and is currently a 5; does anyone know what the “typical” increase percentage offer is? Or know how much they could be willing with a counter offer.
We need a better system.
What’s funny is, they’ll give huge pay raises if you get a new role, even if it’s less interesting to you, but almost nothing even if you get the double exceeds and bust your bu-t to kiss your boss’s a-s. They’ll even pay the new person who takes... — read more
It would be difficult for me to work for a direct competitor

Is MRA2 sucking the life out of all of GT or just DAIT?
The hoops to jump through, the red tape, the maze of differing messages -- it's pretty soul sucking for our area. Is it like this in the rest of global tech? I understand that the bank has to prevent risk and to thoroughly document in a highly... — read more
There's no point in doing your best

My manager doesn't understand why so many people are leaving
