Question about job offer

Hey, I'm not sure if this forum is the right place to talk about my story. I just a call from the Citibank that I got in for the Risk Analyst position and they said they will send additional details later on. I thought I get to sign contract thing immediately after the job offer call. I was wondering would it be possible for Citibank to change their mind later on? How does the process work usually after you received the phone call saying that you are in. Really need some help here.

Thanks alot.

If you got it today then you should get the offer letter next week (Mon - Wed). If you don't get it then, give them a call. I don't think Citi would change their mind so quickly.

Do what you want not what you can!
 

Where is the location? I believe that this position at Citi is "at will" so you dont really sign a contract, you just verbally commit. They then send you the info about the position and drugtest/background test info.

hey, yeah you were right. this position is "at will." But they sent me an job offer letter thing and I had to sign it. Is "at will" employment that bad? sounds so insecure ...

Unless you're much higher up on the totem pole, all us young guys are "at will."

Salomon Bros. laid off about 1/5th of their investment bank in a day, if I recall Michael Lewis' "Money Culture." Just this year, Barcap trimmed ~10% off their bank as well. It happens. Contractual obligations are tough in a sales/P&L-driven business.
