Yes, the job market is not ideal, but I don't know anybody who didn't have a job within three months. Plus, leaving Citi can only bring you better pay, benefits, and culture. Being laid off is a win at this point.

This is obviously a Troll BullSh!t Fake Thread started by Citi HR, Citi Legal Dept. or a Headhunter-Personnel Agency.
They're just trying to get a rise out of the posters, and stir up the pot !
You are on crack. This job market is completely awful. It is horrible for compliance professionals since our current administration doesn’t care to regulate. I am going after a role that I personally know of 8 other well qualified people applying. I know this because I have been networking with other laid off industry professionals. I am sure I personally know way more that have applied but these are just ones I have heard from.
I would love to slap the OP across the face.
Not true. The job market is tough but it is doable. I just accepted a role that pays much more than Citi did and is remote. The market is starting to pick up again.
I know atleast 4 that took over a year and the jobs 2 of them landed was for half their citi salary. One is still unemployed and the other went back to study.
Haha, you are either really well-connected, lucky, low-paid or any combo of these three 😀
@OP The job market is brutal
False. Took me 8 months, hundreds of applications, only 2 interviews, 1 offer. But...the wait was well worth it. I make more than I did at Citi, and have the freedom to work from anywhere I want. No going into an office, ever.
Hello, CEO Jane and HR !
It must be nice to live in the oblivious blissfully ignorant CitiBubble with an annual Salary plus Bonus totaling $70 Million, not including stock options !
Not always true. I've seen some folks take up to a year to land a new role.
Especially in tech.
