I left and accepted a job that pays more, has excellent insurance, quarterly bonuses, stock options along with other benefits. But above all that it is 100% work from home and an outstanding team that I have the privilege to work with. No one plays the “blame game” and when help is needed, help is given without any negativity. It’s been more than enjoyable and the best decision I’ve made in my career. I wish those who are looking to get out find a position that makes you want to get up in the morning raring to go and give it your all - and then some. There are companies like that and I wish you the best of luck in finding them.

I moved on to another brokerage firm and couldn't be happier. WFA was getting dicey.
If you are unhappy, leave. It's that simple.
There can always be better options. That's nothing new. There are also worse options. Every company, job and person is different.
some fintechs are small and some banks are small;
many fintechs are global and much larger than the wells fargos of the world.
fintechs are not always small they operate in multiple countries doing the work for the big banks; tbh, wells is the smallest company i have worked for so far.
good for you, congratulations on the new position!
The only problem working at Wells has given me (other than tech stack) is Fintech firms tend to be small and they’ve asked if I can deal with less clearly delineated structure/hierarchy.
@vcj that goof is not involved in HR or any hiring decisions. you can ignore them.
So you as an HR person currently, will not look at at a Wells Fargo based app purely because of that company?
I am pretty sure you are admitting you are discriminating. Thats a major no no.
Qualifications and experience are supposed to be the guidelines for screening, not injected bias.
@dgo+1bEHO8NS, wells fargo is trash, and so are its employees. I can tell you first hand resumes with WF experience go directly to the trash. Projecting? You sure are.
Hi! Congrats and I think I am going to the same place you did. :)
I couldnt be more excited. I was able to talk real process abd tech with leaders who have clear vision in the interviews.
It is clear they are more focused on merit assessments over other distracting feelings based stuff and that alone was refreshing.
See you there!!!
Nah, employers see a big brand name, and someone actually looking to get away from a known sh---y company and don’t hold it against them.
Keep projecting though, I’m sure your garbage thought process has more to do with why you can’t get hired externally than the words “Wells Fargo” on your resume.
You wanna know how I know your delusional? You’re posting about it and then responding to me. Keep dreaming chief.
@gqf+1bEHO8NS That is incorrect. I found another job despite having 15 years of Wells experience. I suspect the brand doesn’t help candidates but what matters is what you show as your accomplishments. It’s easy to blame it on WF’s cr-p reputation, if you don’t get the employer interest you think you deserve. Doesn’t mean it’s not your resume, interview prep etc.
Op, you didn’t. Wells Fargo on your resume is not going to get you looks. It’s toxic.
