Guys and gals, there’s a lot of posts out there really slamming Citi hard. I have to admit most of the concerns are valid. Given the negative sentiment and\or environment, use it as fuel.
There are a TON of jobs out there to accommodate just about any employment wish list that you may have. Work from home 100% or hybrid, more $, more vacation time, sign on bonuses, overall larger bonuses, flexible work shifts, on-site daycare, onsite gyms, catered lunch etc……take your pick. IMHO most of the responses of “its like this everywhere, no use to look outside of Citi” are most likely someone from management trying to stop the attrition bleeding.
Guys, you gotta trust me on this. You have nothing to lose. Revamp your LinkedIn profile, setup your LinkedIn job search alerts and start applying and look outside the financial sector as well. (Or use whatever search engine you want). I started applying and in one month out of 6 different job submissions, I was asked to interview for 2 of them within a week and 3 interviews the next week. Out of those 5, I have 3 offers presented to me in addition ALL of them have asked “do you know of anyone else looking for a position that you can refer to us.”
