Carve out a few hours to enjoy dinner. The work will get done one way or another. If you get in the habit of prioritizing work over your personal needs, it will become a trend and you'll burn out.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?

What else should I be doing?
