Thread regarding Citigroup Inc. / Citibank / Citi layoffs

Those with skills will always have options.

If you’re in tech all is not lost, gloom and doom and all that jazz. There are other companies out there outside of finance and banking that also use AD, exchange, sharepoint, SQL, firewalls, linux, unix, routers, switches, vm’s etc….

Citi is not the only company on the planet that ever uses these things.
Finance is not the only sector on the planet that ever uses these things.

Expand your job search as this ship is sinking. It’s always mystified me that people will job search with only the big banks and call it a day, “there’s nothing out there and I know that as I searched the big 3 banks and didn’t find anything. No use to look any further elsewhere. I guess I’m just stuck at Citi.”

Honestly, the way I look at it, it does not matter if the OP is a headhunter or not if what they are saying is true. I’m more apt to believe the naysayers on job searching are Citi HR plants assigned to try and thwart anyone from looking and leaving on their own.

Why take the OP’s word for it and look for yourself to see if there is a better opportunity.
Why take @d6, @d5 or @ed word for it and look for yourself for the same reason.

Don’t just assume that there’s nothing out there or its as good as its going to get. See for yourselves. Don’t let others especially Citi do your thinking for you.

@d6 and @d5 are right.
Correct, no one anywhere else will ever hire you more than what you are making right now. Citi is paying top dollar and is at the upper end of the pay scale in all areas. The only thing you can do is suffer under the current regime that you are in. Your best choice only is to stay at Citi no matter how miserable you may be. It’s not worth your time looking anywhere else.

I’ve worked in those industries, none of them pay remotely anywhere close to banking.

Good to see the headhunters participating again.
