And disillusioned with Fidelity.
Is it my imagination that career moves lateral up or sideways don’t exist?
I feel like I’m spinning my wheels making no progress.
Mind you it’s a good job decent enough pay clearly a nice benefits offering but I’m going nowhere.
I’ve made gains in my skills that show initiative and intellect.
Nothing seems to help me grow or advance in any way, shape or manner.
I feel like maybe it’s time to cut hair and look externally.
What is it they are looking for? I mean I hate to say it but it sure seems like young Asian women rule is it just I’m the wrong gender and ethnicity/race?
Could HR be this shallow?
I’m not speaking sarcastically I happen to be very intelligent, extremely professional and polite and nothing changes regarding my career here.

@az well it’s going to come back and bite them in the a s s because customers hear of the turmoil and there’s enough big institutions to handle money besides Fidelity. Once a storied reputation is tarnished it’s hard to scratch your wake back to the top.
Unfortunately, Fidelity doesn't really care how smart anyone is. It's all about who you know and the politics. The most qualified person often doesn't get the job. You could literally be doing the job and if the hiring manager wants their friend in the higher position, they will overlook you. The HR candidate selection process - google that HR lady meme - POV: the HR lady that majored in psychology at a no name school in Florida is about to throw your resume in the trash. That's the epitome of this place.
