      Yep. Worked for a fintech unicorn that was doing amazing things and I left for FAANG. Reason? I got bored. I wasn’t learning anything. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    Had a similar fintech experience even as a sr director. They had no succession plan. Told me to wait forever to actually start doing my job. I tried to build a program and the answer was "we can guarantee any ones peogram is staying"
    I left after 5 months. I jumped into my current role and its been pitch dark to bright morning difference. I did more in 1 month than i think i ever would have in a year at that place.

    I work at GS competitor, a well-known investment bank. I am black and has been there 22 years. My current job is why I am in college for cybersecurity now. When I heard you were at Goldman, I was like: "Oh no. He about to go through all the bullshit I been going through." I'm glad you are out before they wasted any more of your time.

    I feel you on the co-workers part. i get a shady feeling from my co-workers too, some wont even look me in the eyes lol. My manager doesnt do one on ones too yet goes and speaks with folks who arent assigned to him as a mentor. The last straw was when he came to our side of the office and said good morning to everyone but me lol. Yes, im one of 2 blacks that work there and now im looking for somewhere else.

    Back in 2012 I was a contractor at G.S doing I.T support trading floor support. Had an encounter with a rude ass end user embarrassed me Infront of everyone. She said "if I had a college degree I would know the answer to that question".I quit the following day. That place was toxic as hell GS J.C

    When you were checked out, did you start losing motivation to be at work? Did you find tough staying motivated to even study outside of work? It is tough when you don’t feel valued to put in 100% effort because you have difficulty seeing the fruits of your labor. I’m with you. Glad you changed jobs. Good luck!

    Man the part about not getting not getting incidents kinds hit home. I think I mentioned to you...I've been constantly closing false positives and sending up turning request. The vaccine stuff is bullshit I got the two shot and said it's done even on my reserve military side they say 2 shots cool. If I didn't need them for my job I wouldn't have gotten them. Ironically, my job pushed the shot so I said cool I'll get them .."can't mess up the money over pride" fast forward to now I never got asked for my vaccine card...smh

    Just some advice don't mention the companies by name. You might leave your current company one day and lose out on an opportunity because of name dropping. A future employer could get reservations about you concerning negative publicity. Tell your friends all the real details but not the supposed world.
