Most of them are lured into Citi with big $$ and then find out they landed in a wasteland and bonuses are the worst. Then it’s all about survival and Lord of the Flies.
You may as well forget about banking and winning deals in the marketplace, as you must focus on CYA, and without these skills you’ll fade to irrelevance without regularly closing deals.
Citi is where good bankers go to die.
Good luck folks, may the odds be in your favor. The smartest have assessed this and are moving out ASAP. Although Citi’s reputation at other institutions is fading fast.
