What has been your experience while in banking?

My experience has been relatively positive. I’m from MS, and I’ve worked for the same institution for the past 5.5 years. I’ve worked in three different areas and never had any negative issues. The bank I work for is the largest bank in MS & has recently jumped up the ranks to the top 50 largest banks by assets. Most of my supervisors have been white, and they’ve all been great.
With that being said, my experience working for this bank is likely far different from many of my older black coworkers.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
