Is it worth applying for other roles? Ive been here just a tad over a year and my supervisor said theyre not hiring for the rest of this year, but she didn’t answer when i asked about applying to other roles internally

Is there still CL potential? What’s the connection with Career Orientation?

I’m now 43 and still @ CL28…no promotion last 5yrs. Any chance I can make Exec? Is it worth the effort? If i get E/O next 10yrs, can i make it to Exec?

Any other advice besides work hard and build a network to advance in this Company?

Is it smart to accept it?

Complain and stay miserable. Grind and get nothing. Build skills and leave. Choose wisely.

I've had years of promises, and zero results. I'm tired of all the lies and watching incompetent people get ahead.

I heard some of my colleagues have been getting OWD and heading to NC for training. What do they actually do there? And how hard is it to get OWD?

48 years, 13 YEE, probability 10%

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.

Does anyone know how hard it is to get a transfer to another job location? I want to go from Westlake to Jersey City. Thanks!

I've seen great employees kept in place because their managers didn't want to lose them. They make their department looks good, manager looks good, but they end up stuck because their manager sabotages their advancement for their own gain. If you've been stuck in the same position for a while and don't know why, this might be it.

Will you immediately seek employment, go back to school, take a break, etc. What are your plans?
God Bless Us All.

March 2027 for me, so I'm a bit envious of those who got earlier dates, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth!

Any one want to share about internally moving to a lateral position or higher? How is the process to tell the current manager that you want to move elsewhere ?

Or, to rephrase that, can you ask to be considered for a different role instead of taking the severance? And if nothing is available, then accept the severance instead?

Most people quit too late.

Look out for these 12 signs:

1. Dread Every Morning
   ↳This isn't a bad week, it's a pattern that won't shift
   ↳Ex: Your stomach drops every Sunday night before Monday

2. Growth Has Stopped
   ↳You've learned everything this role can teach you
   ↳Ex: You could do your job in your sleep and haven't been challenged in months

3. Values Don't Match
   ↳The company rewards things you don't believe in
   ↳Ex: Leadership praises long hours over real results

4. No Real Feedback
   ↳Your manager never talks about your future, only your tasks
   ↳Ex: Your last three reviews said "keep doing what you're doing"

5. Constant Small Lies
   ↳You're asked to bend the truth in ways that add up
   ↳Ex: You're told to tell clients a project is "on track" when it's not

6. Health Keeps Slipping
   ↳Your body is sending signals your calendar ignores
   ↳Ex: You've had three headaches this week you didn't have last year

7. Talent Keeps Leaving
   ↳Good people quitting is a signal, not a coincidence
   ↳Ex: Three teammates left in six months and no one asked why

8. Raises Feel Impossible
   ↳You've asked clearly and gotten vague answers twice
   ↳Ex: "Let's revisit this next quarter" - for the second year in a row

9. Passion Feels Gone
   ↳You used to care, now you just show up
   ↳Ex: You stopped raising ideas in meetings months ago

10. Trust Is Broken
    ↳Something happened that changed how you see leadership
    ↳Ex: A promise about your role or pay was quietly broken

11. Skills Are Stale
    ↳The market is moving and your role isn't keeping up
    ↳Ex: You haven't learned a new tool or skill in over a year

12. Gut Says Go
    ↳You already know, you're just waiting for permission
    ↳Ex: You catch yourself checking job boards every day at lunch

Staying too long doesn't just cost you time.
It costs you growth.

Anyone have experience negotiating your exit from a HQ role? Not getting laid off. Leaving on your own terms when you and your leader agree the work has changed enough to not fit. Open roles are scarce for my intended trajectory.

The money used to make the stress worth it but weak raises ki-led that advantage years ago. Now there's no path up, no relief in sight, and I'm starting to feel like an id--t for still being here.

Has anyone moved internally recently? Has anyone had luck or grass greener doing this?

Hey, guys wondering which orgs should I consider transferring too. I want know which STS are green or red flags. I’m currently an associate engineer with continued meet standards in CET,RWT and I keep getting things blocked due to budget related stuff. I’m tired of my org not evaluating me fairly so I’ll be applying around again.

What is career path/title as IT professional there?
From engineer associate to principal engineer.
What's in between
Thanks

Has anyone been promoted in their current role without needing to switch jobs or apply for a higher title job posting

Mass layoffs continue to impact Silicon Valley tech workers. Artificial intelligence is driving these job cuts and reshaping the industry. Many displaced employees struggle to find new roles despite extensive experience. Companies are now highly selective, often demanding specific AI skills. Workers are adapting by upskilling, networking, or exploring new career paths.

Sorry to everyone who was affected by the recent cuts.
Quick question ,how long were u given to find another role within Fidelity?

Have been told nobody can move b/c hiring freeze and no backfills but have not asked for move directly either.

The way things are looking right now, the only way I can grow my career is if I quit and go somewhere else.

My manager told me for years that I was the backbone of the team. Then I asked about a promotion and got told I was too important where I was. That's when I realized that being valuable at DXC doesn't get you ahead. It gets you stuck.

What fresh he-l is this?
Just say you're helping us write our resumes for a job hunt...

New title? New level?

One of my coworkers on my direct team has applied to a new position within dell, which is a grade level above his current level. So it'd be a step up. i7 to i8.

We both do the same job and same exact work but he's just a grade above me. Now, they would be leaving my team on corporate to go into the Federal department, which would open up the i7 position. I am an i6 and nobody else on my team is an i6 so...

Simple reasoning would be that I step into that i7 role... with a promotion of course, right?? RIGHT?!

I want to move into the scrum master role but i heard they are changes coming to that chapter? What are the changes please?

Hello my WF friends — I’m hoping to get some insight from hiring managers or recruiters on here. This may benefit others as well.

After many years of solid meets/exceeds performance, I ended up with an IM rating this past cycle. TLDR: my manager and I didn’t really click.

I’ve found a couple of positions in other areas that would actually be a promotion for me. I also have a positive history with one of the hiring managers, as she’s a former manager of mine.

My question is: would WF policy even allow me to be promoted into another role while in the IM “penalty box”? I don’t believe I’m on a formal PIP, so I don’t think I’m required to disclose last year’s IM when applying.

That said, I assume my IM rating would come up during the interview process. If so, I’m guessing the hiring manager would need to make a strong case to move forward with me, given that context.

Anyway, I’d appreciate any thoughts or experiences on this.

How the he-l do people get promoted here? Outside of knowing the right folks, of course. Is it even possible?

After analyst two year rotational program what happens to most people? Do they get promoted to associate ? Senior associate? Vp?

Is there a resource in Workday or on the Intranet with information on job levels? There are open roles in my job level but the titles senior to mine. I’d like to understand how titles align with levels and if there are parameters around levels of new positions that one can apply for.

Can someone moving from c12 to c13 plan for the mid part of the salary range of a c13 in the US? Or will it be at the low end of a c13 range?

I’m curious to hear from people who read or post in this forum, what are your reasons for not liking Truist as a place to work? I’d appreciate specific examples if you’re willing to share.

Personally, I’ve been with the company for several years, and overall I think the compensation and benefits are decent. My main frustration, though, is the lack of real career progression. When I first joined Truist, the position I’m in now lined up well with my long-term career goals. It gave me the chance to gain meaningful experience in a field I’m genuinely interested in and want to keep developing in.

That said, after being here for quite a while, I’ve felt stuck. It seems like I’ve been pigeonholed into my current role. Year after year, performance reviews with my manager talk about growth and advancement, but in reality they’ve felt more like lip service than a clear path toward moving up.

What makes it more frustrating is that I previously worked for several years at another bank in a role that would essentially be the next step for me. So I already have experience at that level. At Truist, however, that same role would be considered more of a lateral move, meaning there wouldn’t really be a pay increase.

Because of that, it feels like the best option for my career growth and for earning more would be to leave Truist and continue my professional journey somewhere else.

Anyway, sorry for the long rant. I’m just interested in hearing what reasons others have for feeling dissatisfied working at Truist?

I know this a layoff forum so I apologize in advance if this sounds insensitive. Just trying to get a feel for the company since it’s 3 years before 401k/pension vest.
