Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

SVB says engineers who left for FAANG are welcome back

SVB and his cronies are gaslighting individuals into thinking that WFT is the place to be. Prep for your interviews, jobs for engineers are plenty. You don't have to join a Coinbase or Netflix or Tesla .. There are much better companies than WF out there.

Don't spend time on getting a cloud certification; no one cares about that in an interview; grind grind grind for your interviews.

SVB is such a joker! He says that because tech has made Pluralsight available to employees, we would be able to move to a modern tech stack. The tone deaf leadership does not realize that people are leaving because leadership is moving at a snail's pace and we can't get anything done. Just look at how many "Head of Strategy and Architecture" did DTI under Chinny had in the past two years. Now the entire team in moved under a guy who manages "Application performance" and has a degree in English!

LOL, but it's all about the culture at WFB and that is the reason why people want to work here... wait, nevermind.

@vha+1hoE1xmH - Because the pay disparity wasn't as much as it is today. And tech is agile by design; unlike the pseudo scaled agile BS that SVB and SVB - 1 are shoving down our throats these days.

Have been with the bank for a long time and we used to get much more accomplished before these clowns joined.

If you want to work for a tech company, why did you ever work for a bank?

Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees obviously.

The ones coming back are the ones who either

  1. Embellished their resumes and don’t truly have the level of modern skills those companies desire and are not making it over there.
  2. Are part of the growing number who are getting offers rescinded.
  3. Cannot handle the pressure and productivity level required after being able to coast here for years.

I left for FAANG last year and this just makes me laugh so much! Thanks for the great Friday afternoon joke!

Those of us who left for FAANG will never return. It's the culture. A bank can not compete with Tech. There's so much WF doesn't understand, key being how to treat employees.
