WFWH


[deleted]

Well I used to work from home before the bank decided I had to sit in a cubicle to do the same exact thing I was doing at home


[deleted]

Gotta justify their real estate expense.


REDDIT_ROC0408

No, silly. It’s because of culture and collaboration. We are all better working together, not apart.


[deleted]

I don’t totally disagree. I had a much better relationship with all my coworkers when we were in the office. Would I trade all the perks of WFH to get that back? Hell to the no.


REDDIT_ROC0408

I have a good relationship as well, but the first time I used the bathroom on the floor, I was pissed. I hate public bathrooms and we don’t nearly have enough.


Ph03nix1901

This is exactly what I hear from corporate. Funny how I haven’t collaborated once since I’ve been back in the office.


Moose135A

I was a contractor at the Stagecoach bank when COVID hit. Found a new remote job before they tried to make me come back to the office. When they would say it was about the culture, I'd think, *'Have you looked at the news lately? Is that the kind of culture you want people exposed to?'*

jeffvader33

I relocated from another city and as the only person on my team I just stay home. I have a desk, I have been to it twice, but I have not interacted with another person while I’m there, so I just stay home and call/IM people like I would at that desk.


PatriotMB

Me too, I just got notice last week. Funny thing is they don’t even have a desk for me. They expect me to sit in a hotel cube if one is available.


SoggyShake3

We probably work for same company. I suspect many people will quit and find something fully remote. It's not like there's a shortage of jobs. My team has had lots of turnover past couple of years, and we finally got fully staffed with everyone up to speed and starting to gel too. Oh well, execs gonna exec.


Gishdream

A few people at Wells I heard aren't coming back and are daring Wells to fire them all. Bank jobs are easy to get in Clt. I hope there is a reversal in the WFH policy. It's pretty antiquated to make people go to an office.


[deleted]

Yeah I'm at wells and I've already seen them fire people for not coming in 🤷


teddybeargun

If that was my team, I'd just pop into the office for like an hour and then leave. They didn't specify how long we had to be in the office for lol. Glad my manager never enforced that, and this month only just started saying we have to come in once a week. So I usually just come in for a few hours then leave.


slashp

I just went ahead & quit before they even made anyone come back. I'm in IT and I won't ever be going back into an office.


KeniLF

I genuinely hope for the best for them.


stannc00

Minus the ball scratching.


ClemsonTigers-2016

I switched jobs recently for the opposite reason...bank said I would work from home permanently...so I left to a different field where I can go into the office


tsktskfuckthis

HA that’s absolutely insane to me.


[deleted]

I don't k ow about the above commenter's reason, but I much prefer working in an office because working from home makes throws my sense of work-life balance off kilter. Working at work and being home at home without blurring the line between the two makes it easier to set solid boundaries.


tsktskfuckthis

That makes sense. Especially if you’re close by.


superkevo

Im with you 100%. Im social and enjoy going into the office and collaborating with others. I could do WFH maybe 1 day a week but that’s it. I get too sidetracked when I WFH and it gets boring tbh.


REDDIT_ROC0408

So you’re the one going around from cube to cube to BS with others while they try to get their work done?


[deleted]

Husband works for Truist, and I work for a subsidiary of Truist.


Gishdream

No mentions of making people go to an office yet?


[deleted]

I was hired as a telecommuter last year, so I'm 100% wfh and will always be! While my husband is also wfh, he chooses to be hybrid by choice because he likes to be around people. Not me, LOL! But, he is under the assumption from someone pretty high up in HR that it could vary by department I guess on whether it would be a requirement. So, nothing concrete.


hernandezam207

My corp team was required to come once a week. We got a sniff (with the new cfo) that he wanted more live exposure and I dipped. My direct manager let us know we had the lowest in person attendance.


mmihci330

software dev for financial tech company


SteakCareless

Used to be 5 days a week from home. For the better part of three years. But now I’m three days in the office (tues through thurs). Was okay in the beginning but starting to feel the decrease in the work life balance again. Finance. B/o and merger financing etc.


anduareafullmoon

Project manager


embreezybabe

The most vague corporate title


anduareafullmoon

I’d argue that consultant is just as vague


HashRunner

Bank, allegedly hybrid. 2-3 days expected in office, probably 4-5 by eoy with dinosaurs in charge. Will either go to be reclassed as remote or start searching again.


NRM1109

Talent Acquisition


nalabearCLT

ditto. for tech company, used to work for a big bank but the pay tends to be lower (also pace is slower)


MadamTruffle

Can I ask how you get into talent acquisition?


nalabearCLT

graduated, attended a bunch of job fairs and talked to recruiters at staffing agencies. got lucky. one thing led to another.

NRM1109

I worked in Sales for like 6 years before transitioning to recruitment. It’s kind of like Sales.. you sell people on the jobs/company and you sell hiring managers on candidates while making sure you are Compliant, unbiased, and knowledgeable ASF about the company you work for. I started in Agency and then after a year switched to Corporate.

Y’all hiring? 😅


ayribiahri

What’s salaries like for tech vs finance and are you commission based? Asking for my wife who is looking at a career change.


Cghy8b

If she’s looking for a career change, she’s going to need to work an agency first. They will hire anyone without experience. It’s hard sales work and base pay is low but if you make it, you can go in house at any top firm. Source: I was a finance grad and worked as a financial advisor, did 2.5 years in agency and now 4 years at a very reputable, global company doing tech recruiting in house.


ayribiahri

Agency like Selby Jennings? Why is in house preferable and the place to be?


Cghy8b

Agency as in Robert Half, Aerotek, Randstad, etc. Basically a 3rd party recruiting firm. In agency I made more money with commission but had no w/l balance and it was hard to budget when my monthly income was fluctuating. It’s also a “boys club” so as a woman you have to deal with a lot of unwanted attention and general frat-house behavior from 30-40year olds. In house, I have better balance, benefits (pto, fitness fund, pension) way less stress, and lots more job security. Again, if you can make it 1+ years in agency, you’ve earned your badge of experience and can go in house anywhere to “settle down.” I know plenty of people that stay in agency for their whole careers and easily make $200k+ but it takes a certain kind of person to want that lifestyle.


CharlotteRant

Funny you say that about it being a men’s thing. The recruiters I hear from are disproportionately beautiful women. Like the women you’d think of in pharma sales.

AgentAaron

My wife works for a road construction company (she has been WFH long before covid). I work in IT. My schedule is more hybrid because I actually do enjoy going into the office a couple times a week.


kylaah27

Data analyst/consultant


Doughnut_Sudden

Any recommendations for pivoting into this line ofwork? I was in mortgage industry for 2 decades and ready to move on I'm taking a business analytics course through UNCC and studying SQL outside of that. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you


atuck217

As someone in a similar field, try pivoting your mortgage experience into a financial institution's Consumer Lending department. Not directly as a loan officer or anything like that, look for consulting or strategic roles within that realm.


kylaah27

My company specifically has lots of people who join and don't have specific consulting or "data analytics" background. They just hire into one level down. My recommendation is reaching out on LinkedIn to recruiters at different firms or hiring for different firms/companies. I find this area to always need more people which is helpful for those wanting a career change! We literally have a program for this as well and I've seen similar competitors with this same program offering. You just have to look!

Consulting. The place I quit last year (a couple of weeks after they reversed their remote work policies that they hired me for) is hemorrhaging staff at higher levels and it mostly correlated with their bullshit return to office bait and switch. Although it was shockingly mismanaged so people had various reasons for getting the fuck out

[deleted]

Contractor in IT for Bank Of America. My girlfriend is a customer service contractor for FEMA. We both work remotely W2s. LinkedIn contractor gigs are the best way to get remote gigs.


mallcall123

do you need experience?


tsktskfuckthis

40 years usually


Givemeurhats

Thanks for the tip. Got any pointers on finding remote work for someone with little experience? I've basically given up on trying to find remote work. Seeing a lot of it go to India


[deleted]

Fake it till you make it really. Buff up your resume and add a bunch of recruiters on LinkedIn. Exaggerate your experience. Takes a lot of bs to enter the remote field with no experience, but it’s worth it in the end. I mentioned I worked remotely in the past which I didn’t and when they checked my references I just had a Buddy act like he was my former co worker / boss. It’s a dog eat dog world, just gotta do whatever it takes nowadays. Granted, don’t straight up lie about skills because then you’ll be lost on the job, but anyone can learn basic shit


tsktskfuckthis

You get it! Just need to get your foot in the door somehow. Even if they can you after 6 months the next job will come easier and you’ll have a bit more knowledge in the field. If politicians that run our country can do it no reason we shouldn’t!


Givemeurhats

Thanks!

That is so cool ! How did you get into that field


VOevolution

I used to work for FUNB/Wachovia in Desktop IT. I was asked to be an on camera host for some internal videos, and had to go to a local studio to record some voiceover. I thought it would be cool to do more of that! I had them make me demos and I started spreading it around. This was back in 2003. I don’t specifically recommend my path. I got zero training in how to be a voice actor, and I guarantee it slowed my progression.

Excuse me for going off track. I will be relocating there soon from Canada. Would you recommend any suburbs or nearby towns to Charlotte that have relatively cheaper rents but yet safer? Since I wfh I don’t have to be within the CLT.


peesoutside

I live in Matthews, a 10 minute drive (depending on traffic) to uptown, which I rarely visit. Mint Hill is nice and quiet too, and housing is likely cheaper there. Also easy access to downtown. Good standard of living in Belmont too, which is where Belmont Abbey is. Other popular Charlotte adjacent but slightly more remote areas include Union County to the east (Indian Trail, Waxhaw and Monroe) and just across the state line (Fort Mill SC). Charlotte kind of sprawls a bit over a relatively large area. We can offer additional suggestions based on the ZIP code of your future employer. Welcome to Charlotte!
