I’d really appreciate any advice. I recently moved to the U.S. and have over 20 years of general ledger accounting experience in another country. and I earned a QuickBooks Level 1 certification .
after months of applying to entry-level bookkeeping jobs, I haven’t even received a single interview.

I’m wondering: am I being seen as overqualified for junior roles? Or is it simply the lack of U.S. experience?

Has anyone faced something similar? How did you get your first opportunity?

Any good cornhole leagues around?

Hi fishes,

I have the following 2 offers..

Cognizant- 21L fixed and 1.5L variable

This is for a guidewire role.
Which is a better offer? What would be a good option for growth wrt role, salary etc.
Also, PWC claims to offer variable based on their fixed CTC based on the ratings.. is this true ? How much is the avg percentage given?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. 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.
