Did you not know that you weren't going to hit your sales numbers? It's not worth getting another sales job if you won't hit those numbers either. I'd rather take a $200k job with growth. Heck, I'd rather just take a $200k job and coast. I don't even need that much money if I like a job enough to ride to early semi-retirement around 55.

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?
