So, I see Suntrust is hiring bottom of the stack it people now. Good luck with that.
I was at a bank in 2008 that did just that. When “the bottom” fell out, they fired heap loads of their senior IT and hired tons of juniors (and H1B) trying to save money. Our severance package was okay, not great, not bad. Their only stipulation was they could contact me at a later date if they had any questions to processes, documentation, etc.
Soon as the check cleared I changed my number and anything that arrived in the mail that was not certified was “return to sender”. Never heard from them again after about three months. Banks are very sleazy to their IT workers as a whole.
