Bloomberg reviews

Global Data dept is awful for bumps and advancements, and really needs a revamp. All good people in data leave to other departments with higher pay. Sad, but it gets no attention, with bad people doing poor work protected by the fact BBG has monopoly like dominance in the financial market information space. It simply is broken, and has to be fixed.

dont get me wrong i love the job, but things have changed a lot in these 4 years. there is a bloomberg stigma when trying to pivot to other jobs outside. you end up feeling like a cog in the system that can be replaced eventually since they are constantly hiring and implementing new ai. you cannot negotiate anything about salary or have a valid reason as to why youre falling behind on metrics. if you stay the course onto sales, you just cant have many obligations at home and sign up to travel every other week. In sales, you do get to fly first class and have all expenses paid, but after 6 months the honeymoon phase drains the life out of you and you realize its not all that great to fly away for 4 day weekday trip for work when you have a family back home. if youre a single person who doesnt care and wants to be a free bird, the role is great and you can make decent money, but ive seen those people also wither and fallout of the role to do something else. lately they have been pushing a lot of good people out when they never had to do that.
