HELP! After a pre-Christmas layoff, I’m struggling to land interviews—none legitimate so far. With 25 years in ERP (SAP Banking) and FinTech product delivery, I’ve led globally across Agile and waterfall, holding 10 Agile certifications. I’m a people-first leader now upskilling in AI (Claude, Gemini, Copilot). Any advice, leads, or referrals would be greatly appreciated—resume on my profile.

I’m in the midst of the interview process at KPMG. What is the expected salary for Manager level in the risk space?

Hi all! I was wondering if you can share your experience balancing work and interview prep at the same time? Work has been super demanding and I’m trying to prep for interviews, but I have no time except for the weekends (even then my time is extremely limited because I don’t want to completely ignore my loved ones, and I try to catch up on some sleep here and there).

Anyone here in Restructuring IB willing to connect or provide some insights into the interview process and share some prep resources you found helpful? TIA

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

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!

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. 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?
