I hate my job. I’m not growing. My new boss is starting to micromanage me. I have been with my current firm for almost 5 years. My boss told me that I just need to figure it out. I’ve been told they don’t know what a career track for me looks like. I’ve built a proprietary software for them which they use and is saving them thousands. There are some other politics in the firm that I stay away from.

Job search has been tough. Staying grateful too—how do you all manage stress in transition?

Ugh, so tough especially after you've contributed so much. Managing stress during a job transition is hard, but focusing on what you've accomplished, like building that software, can help you stay motivated. I’d recommend setting clear boundaries at work and taking time for self-care while job hunting if you can

What your boss said may sound callous, but it's honestly not so farfetched. If your employers don't know what your career track looks like, you are going to have to put that together on your own. Do some brainstorming about what you want to do and start working toward that. You're fortunate in that you're employed, if you want to pick up some certifications you've got the means to do that. And you've got time to plot your path forward and put out some feelers and explore the job market.

Focus on the things I can control when things are starting to change. When I’m not really sure what the path forward looks like, I try to re-evaluate and reflect. Being in transition isn’t my favorite, yet is often necessary to move forward. Best of luck that you get that opportunity to grow!

When you interview, specify the proprietary system without getting into the specifics, but concentrate on the types of problems you solved, how, and how much time/money you saved the firm. Those always go over well.

I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
