1. I think linked in is best for banking jibs, updated profile like a resume, buy premium and set you job notification board.
2. I moved to Citi Bank from Scotiabank and i find Citi more flexible and better exposure since Citi is global bank, but obviously it also depend which unit you are working in. (i was in Audit)

Thank you for sharing!

Websites are not much of help if you are applying directly.
Use LinkedIn to "network" and try to find some1 who can refer you to the job.
The more relevant the person referring you, the better. As in, if the hiring manager directly refers you, your chances are exponentially higher than any other candidate.
Unfortunately its a painstakingly slow process to find and make connections with the right people.

I used to work for CIBC and moved to CWB recently. The culture/pay/WLB is more or less similar to the "Big5".
Obviously, I have a over simplified and it will vary from profile to profile but it is generally true.

Good luck!!

Hello Fishes,
I cleared the Level 2 interview as an Appian developer. Could you please let me know what Level 3 interview would be about? Thr HR said it's an interaction session with the panel. But should I be prepared technically?

Been on the job hunt for the past 3 months. Applied to 200+. Interviewed with 15 companies (big tech + mid sized) but failing at either hiring manager round or ghosted after onsite. I’ve spent hours everyday applying, researching companies and prepping for interviews, watching videos, reading books, but just can’t seem to close the deal. Feeling so stuck, anxious and frustrated all the time.

Any advice how to get out of this situation?

Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
