Introduce yourself šŸ‘‹

Literally seen this before I DM, youā€™d possibly know most :sweat_smile:

Itā€™s more me being a natural stress head and understandably last year was a rough ride for most businesses.

Congrats on starting for Monzo, but surely this is the sort of question you should have asked during the interview process?

So, I didnā€™t get the job I was interviewed for which said hours were x-x but was offered another role, so havenā€™t had chance to speak about the specifics as yet.

Iā€™ll drop recruitment a message, though I feel someone in the role can answer more specifically as when asking about hours previously with the main hiring team itā€™s the usual ā€œopen availabilityā€ which wasnā€™t the case when asked during the interview of the initial role.

And thanks :partying_face:

I understand what you mean. I left a job that was supposed to be 8-6 and was regularly 6/7-7/8 and that was a big concern of mine going into the next role.

Hopefully someone will get you a more accurate times, but I wouldnā€™t worry too much about GlassDoor.

I think my inquisitive mind puts me on edge :joy:

My hours now are from 8am - 8pm no Sundays, 35hrs per week, but fixed rotation shift.

Been so long since Iā€™ve been a regular here Iā€™m going to reintroduce myself and get posting. Hello! :wave:

31, East Anglia, married to @CarlMorgan, financial analyst at a very large shipping company. :ship:
Previously full Monzo but headed over to the dark side - currently using Starling with Chase on the side and a bit of AMEX for good measure. That said, I still have a soft spot for Hot Coral. :orange_heart:
Still here for the chat, been missing the community! :clap:

Hey everyone, Iā€™m Lewis a graphic designer from London. Iā€™ve been with Monzo since early 2018, Iā€™m wanting to start using Monzo as more of a factor in my finances rather than just a way to easily split bills with my partner so wanted to get more involved in the community. Just signed up to premium and looking forward to getting the fancy metal card and all that goes with it!

Hi Lewis & welcome :wave:

Thanks for the intro - if you like minimalism design, youā€™ll love the white metal card (I do)

It feels fantastic in the hand, but can need an awful amount of cleaning depending on the wallet/sleeve/pocket/phone-case/bubble-wrap that it is kept in on a daily basis. Iā€™ve found that certain wallets make it go ā€˜green/blueā€™ after being in contact with the leather/pleather for a while. Iā€™ve even used it in ATMā€™s :scream: several times and got away with it not being scratched, but ATMā€™s arenā€™t exactly gentle so be careful there. It also feels like the ATM is going to jam andā€¦ possibly, bye-bye card :disappointed:

My current preference for ā€˜non-destructiveā€™ storage is to have it in-between 2 other cards in a sleeve wallet, where both other cards have their magnetic stripe facing away from the card. Less cleaning so far.

So high-maintenance these things. Tip - Anti-Bac wipes rubbed slowly & carefully seem to bring it back to its former bright-white life best.

Definitely looking forward to the minimalist look!

Ah, Iā€™ll have to see how I go then because my current setup is a leather card holder, for practicality it means I donā€™t have to take the card out for contactless payments which is 99% of the time. So a card on one side and my ID on the other but each in individual sleeves.

Iā€™ll keep the anti-bac wipes on hand and hopefully because Iā€™m not taking it out of the holder too often I can hide any weird green/blue colouring! :joy: Thank you very much for the advice!

Hiya all, Iā€™m Rob, from mid-Wales where men are men and sheep are afraid :innocent:I joined the forum because I bank with not only Monzo, but Starling as well and wanted to know more about the fintech sector. Iā€™ve tried most app banks and, in my opinion, Monzo is the best and have used it as my primary account for over 2 years.

Hi Rob & Welcome :wave:

Thereā€™s definitely a wider range of discussion than just :monzo: topics here, thatā€™s for sure!
For additional, some duplicated, fintech news, thereā€™s the other forum too.
