I've been practicing 3 years in litigation in a Midwest UBE state. My partner got a job offer in Tampa, and we want to accept, but I really need a job. I went to law school in the area, but finding it hard for a firm to take someone on who isn't licensed yet in Florida. Anyone know of firms that are open to a relocating attorney? Maybe even to take on an attorney as a clerk until passing the bar and then transition to an associate?

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.
