Hello Canada

How’s American Express as an organisation for UI/UX designers. Is it true that you have to work during the US hours and it’s pretty stressful. Is it true?

Is it possible to transition from Sales Manager to consulting. Currently making around 100k per year and would like to make a move and potentially make 20-30% more. For context, I have been at my current organization for 4 years and have grown my teams annual revenue from 1,000,000 to over 4,000,000 primarily through improving the culture, processes, and quality

Who else is reeling under the pain of taxes?

Uber just unionized. If they can, why can’t we?!

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Holiday Season - at my former company, around this time of year I would have already gotten a ton of gift baskets etc. - not something I would ever take home but open up for the team and leave out. Started somewhere new last November, have dealt with multiple firms in various regions of the last year, many of which have billed several $100ks, have yet to receive anything. Are firms no longer doing this post COVID?

Currently a CSA in PWM at a top wealth management bank (think UBS/MS/GS) but not loving private client work. What have other CSAs gone on to do that’s outside of the PWM realm?

Can US citizens travel to Puerto Rico without a passport and/or with less than 6 months of validity left; going from nyc if that matters

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

Why too many people leaving FIS ?

Has anyone on here moved from IB to management consulting as an experienced hire? How do you view the decision in retrospect?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Best moves after becoming PMM? I've been in the role for 4-5 years now but looking to really challenge myself - I am not sure what the next leap would be other than moving into leadership or starting my own company. Thoughts?

Are consulting firms in Canada hiring?
Am a T10 MBA’19 grad with <1 year at BCG. I’ll be leaving US soon due to visa issues. Don’t anticipate an easy internal transfer so want to explore all options.

How is it going in Canada? How is the job scene?

Is it possible to make a lot of money in Canada and if so in which companies? Compared to the US market, I have a feeling consultants are left with breadcrumbs north of the border.

Has any firm in Canada reverted back from salary freezes during Covid? Aka gone back to pre-COVID salary bands. This question may be more for the strategy shops....I.e. I heard S& in the US is giving people raises in January to meet pre-COVID bands (but don’t know if this is happening in PwC). What are people seeing in Canada?

Hello! I made this bowl for us Canadian consultants to mix and mingle... and share our experiences of working with our American neighbours and/or cross a border every fly day 🤣 Welcome!

For folks that have 10+ years of experience in Canada, what has salary progression been like for you? Keen to hear from folks that stayed in consulting as well as folks that exited. I keep seeing American numbers and want to get a better understanding of what growth can look like in Canada. Thank you!

Heard consulting is going through really difficult times in Canada.....

Anyone having experience with National Bank as a TFSA account or trading account ?

Hi, I’m a Canadian PR holder currently in the US. Trying to make the move to Toronto in the new few months. I see positions at Deloitte that I think are a good fit but applying online without a referral appears to be going into a black hole. Is there anyone on here I connect with to understand more about Deloitte’s hiring process? (Recruiters I can reach out to, people willing to give referrals etc)? Would be very grateful! I have contacts in Deloitte US but that doesn’t seem to apply for CA!

Hi all. I’m looking for a referral at Roland Berger in Canada regarding an open role. This is a long shot but can anyone provide an introduction? Happy to share details over PM.
