Are others in the GTA (really, anywhere) running into constant SCAMS regarding job opportunities? 2 months I have been OOW, and every "recruiter" I have spoken with has been a SCAM! 100%! First, the "recruiter" asks for your resume... and immediately suggests that it via "their CPRW". Of course, there is a fee for this. Then, the Cover Letter... same sequence!
I got taken for $700... and then clued in. 20+ more "recruiters" have tried the same scam since!

Why are you paying fees to apply for a job? That should be your first clue since jobs typically pay you.

Yeah, it's not paying the recruiter / paying to apply to the job. The scam is the "resume improvements / cover letter reviews and improvements" etc. You are correct though: might as well ALWAYS do these things yourself using AI from now on!

How do I leave audit? At times I feel trapped thinking to myself there is no way life is suppose to be like this. How do you find the right opportunity? Everyone says network. But, how do I network? Do I just reach out to my peers asking if they’re hiring? I would love some stories on how others ended up leaving and used their network to find a job they enjoyed doing.

I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company.

Should I be concerned with that?

Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. 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?
