Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)
Any recruiter in search of a Scrum Master 🙂
Hi Fishes
In spite of having applied for many jobs at Citi (including the referrals), I have not got any calls from Citi.
I do not understand what's wrong with my profile ! I do get calls from other Captives but not from the Citi.
Are there any hacks to get calls from Citi ? Citi @citibank

It’s nice to have that sign that cements your gut instinct. I had something similar happen a few months ago. Everything was going great until I met with someone in senior leadership in the 3rd round. They were incredibly negative and left me with a bad feeling. Lo and behold never got a response back and wasn’t even mad about it.

I have been to interviews and thought can't work there.. hope they don't offer me the job... And they did 😭
I ended up accepting because I was desperate but left shortly afterwards
Totally normal. From a manager’s perspective, that feeling is usually your instincts catching up to what your brain already noticed. If you feel relief instead of disappointment, it often means the role or the company wasn’t actually aligned with what you want, even if it looked fine on paper.

That reaction is very normal. Relief often signals misalignment you already sensed. Your nervous system clocked it before your rational brain did. Trust that information.
No it’s a clear sign that opportunity wasn’t right for you. Think about it, if the job was offered to you, would you have felt obliged to accept it? Now you’re free.
