Seems like a large number of jobs (at DIR/MD) are very quietly opening up internally. . . and very quietly being filled. Recent example: new head of MCA. Anyone else heard/experienced the same thing?

How did Sara W get her job? Ultimate cronyism/political hire. She’s unqualified and that is why HR is a shambles
That is how the promotion process works at Citi, and it's ridiculous. Your manager has to open a new REQ, you have to update your resume and apply for the role, they have to perform 2-3 fake interviews with "viable" candidates and waste those people's time, and then "hire" you to the new role. So yes, you will see these quite jobs being raised but they aren't really for actual new hires/internal mobility (some might be though), they're opened for specific people being promoted. They really need a more streamlined process for promotions, but perhaps this is the industry standard process - idk.
Internal mobility at Citi is ineffective. Cronyism drives the process, not merit. After the Consent Order, Citi imported external senior managers who then hired their buddies. HR doesn't seem to be interested in changing the status quo.
@eea+1pYDumsD I think you need to educate yourself before you comment sweetheart.
Not sure we should be concerned about D/MD being laid off... Or being a multimillionaire is still not enough for some people? Disgusting...
backroom deals, underhand transactions, a bit of back shoulder scratching ... MD ...here you go.
Meow. I think you need to re-read the message, sweetheart. You are foolishly assuming all these jobs are getting posted. Let’s guess which dept. you must work in . . .
It is no ones job to tell you ever time a role goes live. Set up alerts on the internal mobility site. Citi policy is a job must be advertised internally for 5 days at a minimum.
