Any advice on how to handle my new job? I really like the mission of my job but the actual work is way easier then my previous job. I’m not feeling challenged. I’m coming up with my own projects to help but I’m still feeling underwhelmed. I’m kind of sad because I think the work is important but my day to day work isn’t exciting even when I try to make it. I have found some other teams with work I’m interested in but it’s too soon to transfer to another team. Any advice is appreciated.

I’ve done the side hustle thing and collaborate with a college friend to get some discussion and accountability out of it. Has been fun. But i hear ya, i’m in a similar situation and it sucks.

When I was frustrated with the lack of work at a job, I studied for a certification in my profession that I could dedicate my brain to. It helped a lot

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.

Do small law firms have paralegal managers?

Looking for some advice; I've been a paralegal for about 5 years now, and the past year or so has been hard. One firm closed, which dropped me in another firm which was never good for me, and then into another with a culture that was really unhealthy to me. My resume shows a few short stays at firms, and now I'm looking at moving after six months due to issues that turned over the entire paralegal team so far except for me. How do I show employers I'm a dedicated worker after a difficult year?

One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.
