Had a conversation with my manager this morning about my career trajectory. I recently earned my MBA but have not been able to leverage it in my current position like I had hoped. My manager has been awesome and has expressed that he's okay if I leave but I'm pretty comfortable where I'm at. Is it worth jumping into the unknown? I just don't see any advancing within my department anytime soon.

Are you looking to increase comp? Or is it more growth related?

like

I think either at this point. I'm content with my role but I really think I'm worth 10% more rn.

If they won't do the comp then I need to keep growing.

That’s a tricky place to be. Having a supportive manager is great, but honestly when a manager is very okay with you leaving, it might be a yellow flag that there isn’t much growth or long-term runway there. Doesn’t mean anything bad is imminent, but I’d probably take that as a sign to at least start looking around casually.

Great insight, I didn't think about it as a yellow flag but I probably should. I've been spiffing up my LinkedIn and browsing more job boards lately so maybe I'll amp it up a little.

Your manager is telling you that your growth is capped where you are currently at. If you want growth, you must leave.

I think you nailed it.

Wondering for anyone who got their CFF (Ceritified Financial Forensics) designation. Was it difficult? How long does it take to study for using the review course? Is the exam mainly multiple choice or short answer and how difficult? Any guidance or tips would help please. I already have my CFE but just want to know if CFF is worth it

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. 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.

There is this big bank where I'd love to work at, and after several interviews for various positions they end up promoting someone from within, even thou I understand it and think it’s good they promote their people, it left me feeling like I'm just being used to comply with the process.

Should I decline the offer and ask to be considered for a higher role that better fits my qualifications? The offer I had was with a great bank but I'm overqualified for that. Its been hard to find a job because I dont have prior experiences.
