what are your experiences with the bank?
It was okay for me. After an year felt like I'm loosing skills
Best bank in America. Too bad they all suck
Yep definitely a bad career move, too stagnant
Okay place to be for a year or so to transition from a junior script kiddie to a mid level dev contingent on joining a greenfield project. If it's greenfield, you'll learn the technical, political and cover-your-*** needs for an enterprise application to succeed. Other than that, pay can be good, quite stable job and pretty chill (depending on team). Skill levels vary between teams, core team tend to have better people obviously. Pro tip 1: avoid joining maintenance/support/mature applications at all cost Pro tip 2: rejoin as an ED - the political jungle is a vibrant place, far more exciting than being a dev Pro tip 3: rejoin as a senior VP - you literally get to make all technical decisions and work on the cool stuff (unless test coverage and UI buttons are your thing, then join as an analyst)
This is so apt it hurts haha. Definitely heed tip 1, if you join any mature project prepare to be bored out of your mind, learn nothing, and feel empty inside.
What's a senior VP? I thought they only have one job level - 603 for VP
They’re all 603, but pay range and responsibilities vary vastly within
For a tech job? AVOID. Unless you're a boring, incapable person who just wants to wear a nice suit and pretend they know stuff. Good: Nice clean office and people wearing nice suits and stuff lol Bad: Everything else You'll end up spending all your energy to learn how to navigate and interact with incompetent members who somehow managed their way into a tech role at a bank. And yes, it's a bank at the end of the day. And it's soooo SLOW! It takes forever to get anything done (if it does get done).
Agree with this whole heartedly, working on switching out at the moment
Run! I just did that to join a FAANG. I feel like I escaped from Prison.
As an employee? Doing what? As somebody who has stock? With a chase checking account?
Open ended
It's swell
