Anyone at Charles Schwab willing to provide me a referral for one of the job postings..? TC: $150K #charlesschwab #jobopening
I did a STC at Schwab. It was during a very difficult time in my life—I was caring for a dying loved one and preparing to become responsible for their survivor’s ongoing care. The day she came home from in-hospital hospice care to die, I was up with her all night, literally, because she had to be dosed with one of her pain meds every two hours. I was facing challenges with pretty much everything, at that time, and by the morning, I was just so overwhelmed, I couldn’t face the idea of another work day. CS was just a contract. They didn’t owe me a thing, beyond payment for time worked. I emailed my agency and CS manager together, telling them I needed to resign. I gave them the overview of what was going on. They wouldn’t LET me quit. They BOTH said they wanted to support someone who would do that for another person. They gave me as much time as I needed. Those were their words. I still cannot believe they responded the way they did to my life circumstances. You look at CS from the outside and you can see its founder has unsavory political practices, to say the least. But that’s not the whole story. That company is run by people who seek to create the opposite of a toxic workplace. They are supportive and genuine. It’s a decent place to be. I’d work there again. DK why OP is trying to get in—I’m just sharing what I know.
Wow. That is uplifting, both you as a person and your manager at that time. Thank you for sharing, companies need to be acknowledged when they provide a good environment. The opposite of AWS.
Can I DM you as well?
Sorry I don't work there
I don't have referrals for you, but I'm curious why are you targeting Schwab specifically for your next job?
Not Just Schwab.. I am actively looking for new job, so asking referrals from folks from different companies :-)
