I’m looking to switch jobs asap. I currently work at Chase and can’t stand my toxic manager. He gave me a terrible performance review despite me meeting and exceeding expectations. Because of the bad, rating I most likely won’t be able to move internally. Additionally, I received no bonus or raise. I’m looking to move to Vanguard as a swe. I’ve got 3.5 years of experience and coming up on 4. I’m primarily a backend Java dev with aws experience. Is it a stable company to move to? Are there talks of any layoffs? Would I be able to get a salary of 150k+? What is the interview process like? I don’t mind hybrid work (Malvern office) Tc 120k #tech #vanguard #jpmorgan #jpmorganchase #jobsearch #layoffs #swe
Break free from Jamie’s gulag
I’m all for it. Management is terrible
I don’t think 150K is possible…
Vanguard is very stable company.. your base comp may be low but their benefits and bonus is very good
Honestly I’d be okay with anything in the range of 140k-160k for salary
Do you have offer from Vanguard? What tc?
How many Gs did you get?
Incredible WLB, sometimes boring work but it depends on the team. I’ve also only had great managers here. Virtually no layoffs, I think there was one department in vanguards history that got sold off to another company but otherwise, I have 0 worries about job security.
Mind if I dm?
Feel free :)
I just got fired because of my toxic manager at vanguard. I also met all my goals and was doing my job… but they wanted me out. I’ve heard this is happening all already vanguard. They PIP you out so they don’t have to claim it as “lay offs”. Guess it depends who your manager is
What level and under what area of the company. If you don’t mind me asking
Yes it has been happening. And I can't seem to help notice it's a biased company.
vanguard is probably just as toxic as chase tbh but they don’t do lots of layoffs that i know of especially for IT people
Are they actually hiring? I've put in at least 5 blind applications with them over 6 months. They keep closing positions. Only got rejected for one role. Never had a recruiter reach out.
yeah they are hiring but it is definitely more competitive cause you have a lot of people fighting for the same roles…also, i imagine they prefer to move up internal folks rather than hiring from outside but i honestly have no idea.
Boring work. With tons of good wlb. I barely work with my current team.
Can I dm for referral?
yup and just one thing they dont sponser.
