why they are still hiring in USA after layoff trend from 2023? I hope you got the answer for that first
Exactly. STL will be a hub for years to come. There's a good talent pool from EJ to Stifel to ex Scottrade. I would bet that about 5-10 reqs open per week.
Just barely hiring. There 28 positions posted for St. Louis total today. & those are cross posted with other locations. Been on a hiring freeze for almost a year. Backfill only.
I think every sees the announced core site locations as permanent. Don’t think they won’t change when “business need” changes. Nothing is ever permanent.
Proximity to local talent
Actually, it's 4 buildings. D, E, F, and L. There is plenty of space to take in an extra couple hundred people if needed.
It’s a core market for WIM and 2 or 3 other LOBs.
The new site in Dallas doesn't appear to be a very large hub. Look at the CPG articles on the subject. Says something about a "majority" of the 3k employees in the city being shifted there. Even if they all go, it's a smaller population than the existing big hubs.
St Louis is proof that the US is rotting from both the outside and inside.
But they have sold one of their buildings to convert it into a hotel. so wf is left with just 2 buildings in STL downtown. If they are hiring more employees in STL, they should atleast expand the footprint to fit all those new employees.
Because STL is also a core market. They are also hiring in Des Moines, Phoenix, Charlotte, etc
St. Louis is one of the most dangerous cities in America. Too many violent crimes. The office needs to be removed from this location.
