Goldman Sachs isn't a career, it’s a personality disorder that I’m finally ready to cure. I spent two years chasing the Bulge Bracket dream only to realize I’m basically a high-paid data entry clerk with no social life. I’m interviewing with a mid-market boutique that actually lets their associates speak to clients, and the prestige snobs in my circle are acting like I’m joining the circus. Has anyone else traded a Big Name for actual responsibilities and regretted it?

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry.

I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
