Is anyone else seeing salary ranges that feel all over the place lately? I’ll come across two roles with almost the same responsibilities, but one pays way more than the other. It makes it hard to tell what a realistic compensation expectation even is anymore, especially when titles and job descriptions don’t seem to line up consistently. Curious how others are figuring out what range to ask for.

For sure

Absolutely—the ranges are very unhelpful with how wide they are.

Can't agree more.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

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

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.
