I’m in my 6th year at the firm and haven’t been promoted yet. It’s really hard in IFS. But I came into the firm as a senior manager. There aren’t enough director roles in my area in the firm, and you can’t get promoted in your current role. You have to wait for a headcount at the higher level to open, then apply for it. Did they explain that to you when you transferred? So you really have to remember IFS is entirely different. I work for partners younger than me.

Life is more than promotions.

What are you working for? Is it a means in and of itself? You have to sort out what you are aiming for and I don’t mean the next promotion. What is your purpose?

Find that and you’ll stop caring so much about your title and paycheck.

May I ask why you left advisory? I would love to get into a LoS as I feel IFS is a dead end unless you know the right people. Also, advisory doesn’t have many Senior Managers, right? Would a director role have been within reach previously?

... no intention of going back to advisory. But still stings. Just found out someone who was a year junior to me when we joined just made director while I am still senior manager. No clue if I can make director anytime in the near future.

Can I chat with you OP?

Thank you everyone for the advise. It's just that when I was brought in last year, RL assured me of a director promotion in the year end. Afterwards I was told it was a difficult year so promotion didn't happen. I just feel a bit cheated. If I was told not to expect a promotion anytime soon, I would have set my expectations accordingly. But being assured of a promotion and then to have it taken away felt disappointing.

P1 - wow that's crazy. I wish they would do a better job of setting expectations upfront.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
