#jn - more chaotic, higher energy, more busy work, far less organized, more people (pretty much everyone from what I hear) who have no clue what they are doing, tons of mistakes, lack of well-defined processes and procedures -- all of which BofA alums generally excel at b/c we have to in order to even get thru the day.
They hire us to be the "adult in the room" and instill BofA processes/discipline/best practices to help clean up their cluster of a bank.
If you are bored, thrive on chaos and want to be paid more, then WF is for you.
All my colleagues who've made that leap do tend to stick there pretty good, several years now for many, and are all very happy.
And even if they don't totally like it, at least they're paid better -- which enables anyone to put up with more cr@p.
Just make sure you ask Top Dollar - like 50% more of your total comp and more vacaation time. Get it in writing (b/c managers and HR people change). Seem intrigued but hesitant/indecisive, (for any job change, always go in as high as you can b/c you never know if you'll see another raise, esp. these days)
I'm retiring this year, so not in the cards for me, but for others, could work well.
