Get one at the large Canadian Banks and then transfer over. Otherwise if you went to a target like Ivey/Queens leverage the network.

Doesn’t necessarily need to be a Canadian bank, just any bank with IBD’s in Canada and US.
Barclays, Macquarie, Evercore all have offices in Canada including many other BB/EBs.

At what level?

like

Associate/Mid-senior level

I’ve seen people from Canada transfer from the Canada office over to the NY office as well as jump to American banks as well.

I am so tired of my sister and mom, and the pressure they apply on me to get married, 32 year old female and I have not met someone yet. I was in a relationship last year for a year and he turned out to be a very mean person and they now don’t trust me at all and want me to marry the first nice guy I go on a date with even if I have no attraction at all, and if I go on a couple of dates and I don’t feel it, they question my judgement. I feel like dying from the pressure.

I'm at a smaller MM bank. My original goal was to start here and hustle through into a BB, but I wasn't expecting to really like the people (my team, my direct seniors). I think the work we do probably wouldn't differ a crazy amount (we close deals, just smaller of course) and I'm wondering if I really have a reason to try to move into a bigger bank.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking.

Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
