Also, I’ve applied to over 50 rotational programs starting next summer at big banks. Jp morgan and Citi. I interviewed online for 4 so far.

Focus on internships while doing your MBA, since you have very little experience, the best way to your foot in the door is getting a post internship offer.

Studied accounting and finance but worried about the future of this profession. Currently working in Forensic Consulting but want to leave.

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?
