Hi Friends,

I have more than 10 years of experience in Debt Capital Market, Fixed Income and Investment Banking, but find very difficult to get through similar opportunities in Canada as I don't have any Canadian Education and Canadian Work Experience. Do you face similar barriers to get through Canadian Financial Market ? Any suggestions if you have gone through similar situations.

Where did you get your experience? If US then that experience is treated on par (sometimes better) than Canadian work experience. If anything else other than maybe UK your experience will be heavily discounted. Unfortunately the Canadian market is pretty small and extremely competitive so would recommend networking

Hello, I have 4 years of experience between Financial decision support and pricing. However, I feel like my experience is too narrowed to how my current company operates. I am looking to pivot into consulting at one of the big4 ( for ~2-3 years)or any other consulting firm to have a well rounded experience that could be applicable to any industry. Any advices ?or thoughts ?

For the past 25+ years, I've been a devops engineer, cloud architect and team lead on many projects. I would like to make a career move into IT Management (i.e. DevOps Manager, Director of Cloud Ops, etc.). When it comes to skills needed, what should my focus be on and how would that translate onto a resume? I would love to still be hands-on to utilize my tech knowledge.
