I’m considering moving from my role (good WLB at F500) to a profitable startup. Workload would increase but I feel like there could be a good learning opportunity. What’s your guys’ experience?

It's a risk, but a profitable one. I'd currently stick with the F500 with WLB, but I'm also a bit older with a family and mortgage. Would you get more money?

I do too. I’d get equity which could very well go to zero. Salary is just a bit more

That’s a big move. I honestly think it depends a lot on where you are in your life cycle and what you want right now. If you have the appetite for more hours and uncertainty, the learning at a startup can be huge.

Good insight!

Hi Fishes, I need your advice!

I joined CG 6 months back and was on training for 3-4 months for Dynamics CRM, completing multiple MS certifications. Post that I was mapped to an account for the project & was under shadow.

After shadow completed it seems like there's no project openings in the account for which I was selected. And now management wants me to go for other certs.

Please help me know whom can I approach & ask for project openings/tagging. I'm worried as it's already been 6 months!

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.
