Been working at the bank several years and my immediate team has had transitions either with new teams joining or leaving multiple times over the past 18 months. Tired of living in constant fear I’ll be next. I’m an analyst so a decently transferable role to another field in P&C or Life, I would think. Thinking of trying for an internal transfer but also worried that’ll put a target on my back if they have to do layoffs. I feel like working in the bank it’s just a matter of time.

@dn yes and no, but if a job posting is asking for specific ones, and you mark no, your resume isn’t getting reviewed.
Tbh there really isn’t a way to avoid/ game it. Because it’s more about you as an employee and your cost as an employee. All areas are getting hit.
@cf+1knsgw522 certifications are just a money grab they literally do nothing
Unfortunately no area is safe, while bank is guaranteed to have 2 more rounds of layoffs this year, if you’re concerned you might be impacted, best thing you can do is prepare. Start taking certification courses, if you’re in school try to finish your degree plan ASAP, use your PTO time (volunteer and holiday hours first).
When your name is drawn, that’s it. Hopefully these next 2 rounds, those impacted are WFH that day and not in office to avoid being escorted out by security.
