I recommend that ANYONE take Jane’s advice 100% and get off of the train to find a better job. When the job market heats up, and it will, polish up that resume and get to trolling the job boards. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The stock market is in a very nice bull run, it may level off but the start of next year looks promising for job postings. There’s quite a few free job search engines out there. Give them a shot, you never know. Good luck

You’ll never find “the perfect job”, you’ll just find some better than others. Can you find one better than Citi? I guess it depends on your current manager and role. All that said, yes, the market will most definitely be on the rise in Jan\Feb time frame and the hunting therein will ensue.
What is a "better job" in Corp America?
They all see you as a number. No "better job" will have stability and allow you everything you want and don't want to do.
No better job cannot promise you will not be laid off.
Corporate America makes it look like it's better than the last, and maybe in some ways it will be, but you will find a lot wrong with the new place, as well.
Just saying.
There’s a shift in employee thinking. The days of thinking that the only way to prove you’re serious about your career is to put in extra long hours per day is gone. I guess its realized that any company that requires such, is more or less demanding a cult following sacrifice of your time, life, energy. I believe thats what Citi wants. A blind following sacrifice of your life given over to them with no relatable increase in compensation for it.
I agree with this one. At least in the USA, one the presidential election is completed, regardless of who wins, there will be more overall stability, and companies budget cycles starting again for the new year. Hopefully this will lead to more jobs within the USA and others countries as well.
