Do you ever get tired of playing office politics? Hard work ever gets you so far.

I don’t play politics and I’m super behind in my career. In my last firm I felt like an idiot because people were so much smarter than me and I thought how I could never compete with them without being dirty and kissing 🍑. I decided to work on myself and acquiring knowledge instead of playing politics. I came here and it’s all politics and doesn’t matter what you know. As a result, I’m behind in my career. It always shocks me but then I wonder why when I look at my colleagues…they could never compete with me and win.

I hate playing politics and I will probably never get ahead because I choose not to.

My team was really small so it didn’t have any other associates. It was only an analyst and associate on the junior team

Within the broader group I didn’t really have any issues with associates but working with them directly could be different

Hi - I’ve moved to Toronto (from Asia) with 5 YOE in Corporate banking + 2 YOE IB/capital markets (7 YOE in TOTAL) working roles in Front Office and financial analysis.

Believe I’d be a great fit as an Associate in the same space at the major banks (RBC, TD, Scotia, CIBC etc) or in PE/ Asset management.

Could someone help by mentioning the salary ranges I can expect?

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!
