Is there any not very expensive black tie gown shops near Toronto downtown? New to the city and office party has black tie dress code!

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

Are all Big 4 firms equally tone deaf, or is it just EY? I feel like they don’t address the fact that people are leaving in droves and the ones left behind are burnt out - we continue to have these big growth targets, but fewer and fewer people to actually do the work.
