Work as a technologist in a bank - is it worth it?

Question

Fintech

The bank, after several stages of the interview, offers a job as a technologist. Responsibilities include overseeing improvements to their corporate CRM. The technology stack is not disclosed. Extensive work with documentation is expected - coordination of developments, formation of technical specifications, regulations and other documents, consultations of departments on the results of improvements, acceptance, approval, etc. etc. The conditions on paper are good, but no one knows what is actually there. Hiring is not carried out by the bank itself, but by its IT daughter, a studio, in other words, fulfilling orders and projects of the bank for iT. A question for connoisseurs and experienced bankers - how realistic and interesting it is to work as a technologist, what does it give, is it worth continuing communication and giving up? There is no experience in the bank, there is experience in IT, in B2B Internet marketing of complex products (automation, CRM, ERP, cash registers, access control systems, etc.). d.). There are skills in low-level programming and working with DBMS, there are skills in compiling technical documentation. There are financial, managerial and IT higher educations on the way. What is a technologist? What is it about?

Answer 1

If there is no competent legal agreement, it is not worth the risk, especially with those who have such a Security Council. I can’t speak for everyone, but I will speak for myself - with a fairly rich experience in IT and with a fairly high qualification (if you are bored - you can see it in the profile) I always have several offers from different banks on the table and .... with these companies I communicate only to collect information and always refuse. Working in the banking sector for an IT specialist who is going to grow and develop is VERY painful and unbearable. If you like to sit still and do work for the sake of work, then go ahead.

Answer 2

Monotonous, stable, without creativity and severe restrictions on technologies and deadlines. ZP is usually good.
Better look for something more promising and with the possibility of your choice of tools for solving problems. To have the opportunity to learn a lot of new things. As for the RFP - you can always decide if you have knowledge and experience.

Answer 3

Working in a bank is only one step higher than 1C programming in my personal rating. A normal developer will not go to the bank. I'm currently interviewing candidates at work. The bank programmer was weeded out, it seemed too strange. He is not a developer. Maybe a tech, I don't know.
He did not work in a bank, he worked in a software development company for banks. From hopelessness. Lasted a year and a half. On the one hand, everything seemed to be technologically advanced, but the implementation - even stand, even fall. No, no, no, brrr.

Answer 4

Above, you yourself painted all the duties of a technologist.
