So many people have left IT in the last year. All of them that I stayed in touch with got way more money. None of them have to work long hours and in an abusive culture. It has motivated me to start looking and I've already had 3 great interviews and I hope to be resigning soon after 6 years here. Between Fisher Investments, Citi and Jp Morgan there is a lot of demand from firms with be cultures who pay much more.

We still living under the tyranny of Bella, Vin and Andy. My friend in helpdesk, says every day is screaming angry FAs, in infrastructure it endless incident calls, in my app dev group the business hates us because we can't finish projects. Our VP was scolding all of us about the pressure he's under, yet people keep leaving. We all keeping our heads down and hiding. #raymondjames
I am not at RJ anymore. I do however keep in touch with a couple people there. There is paranoia and paralysis in IT. Nobody dares say anything negative about anything. Systems are fragile and management knows it. There are incidents for everything. Stress in IT is sever. My friends lay low, do what is asked of them, nothing more. They are there just to get a paycheck.
I wish someone still at RJ in IT that has an inkling of how bad it really is would do a posting to share. All we hear are rumors. It would be so nice if some business journal would do an article.
good luck on your interviews and I hope you and everyone that can gets away from RJ. RJ should be a place of last resort not a career. You see it everyday with all the new job postings. Seems people are leaving as fast as they are joining. That tells a story onto itself.
