From one former Branch Examiner, to another, I concur with this^

Depends on which Compliance team you’re on. Most have great WLB, benefits are good but the pay is lacking

I’m nearing 6 figures working in Broker Dealer Compliance remotely with just 2 years of experience.

100% remote? May I ask where?

It’s well paying and fairly low stress

With three RIF's in the past year how do you feel about your job's security?

Chase here. Salary is decent, although the bonus is low. We have great benefits, and speaking only for my department, we are treated very well.

The work life balance is incredible. Absolutely glad I made the jump from law firm life to in-house.

Adding: in terms of job stability, my group is cut so lean they could not afford to lose any more people. So I feel pretty secure for now.

What dept are you in if you don't mind?

I want to share my TCS interview experience. I got selected for one project TR, MR everything was over. The manager of the project confirmed me that I m selected and I will get offer letter soon. I was excited to join TCS due to job security,wlb, etc.
Later when I check with the HR they are saying we couldn't proceed as you are selected for some other project. I was shocked to hear this. But till now i m waiting for other project call 😂. I lost trust in TCS. They are wasting our time,efforts

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
