Got an offer from Citi for 135k. No bonus end of this year but next year could be 5-15 (“or even more if you do a good job”). This year TC at JPM 105k base + 20k bonus with another bonus coming January (would forfeit this bonus if I take Citi), and bump in base. Planning to leave the finance industry altogether, so I wouldn’t stay at Citi long enough to even get whatever bonus they give.
What level is this and location?

JPM is 100% in person Citi is hybrid a few days a week JPM has a slightly better brand name but if you plan on leaving finance, probably doesn’t matter much. So ultimately depends on what you value. If you want to work from home a few days a week, pick Citi. If you prefer to be in office, and JPM is slightly higher $ / better brand name (even if primarily in the finance industry) go with JPM
Did you join Citi ?
Yep. My team was imploding and my manager was a sissy, so that contributed as well.
Sweet. I am working on Citi offer as well. How is it compared to JPM ? I am in JPMC Plano Location. What about you ?
I am looking for roles in finance. What is the reason you look roles out of finance world?
YOE?
