Hello, I am considering a marketing role in a big law firm in Toronto. However, from the reviews on Glassdoor, it looks like the work-life balance is not very good, with lots of overtime at night and at weekend. Can anybody please share if this is something true? Thank you!

Which firm if you’re willing to say - also are you looking at the roles of the people leaving reviews, for the lawyers yes the WLB is quite poor but staff are generally on shifts or 9-5 and I remember legal assistants watching Netflix at night in the office as lawyers worked lol

Thanks for sharing. Do you think there's a huge discrepancy in treatment for lawyers and those marketing or pricing team?

Salary check. I am currently an in house attorney. 12 YOE. Large company with great coworkers doing regulatory work for the insurance industry. Good work life balance. I live in a high COL city. Out of curiosity and to test the market, I interviewed at a FAANG. Did not get the job, but found out TC was 350k, significantly higher than my TC 230k. I thought I was compensated fairly, but would love to see your thoughts.

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

I'm used to seeing the conventional 15-20% split for non working (production dollars only, not including media budget, agency fees) but are those days gone now with the takeover of digital (vs traditional) ad placements?
