I’ve realized that every big career decision I’ve made so far has been driven more by fear (of money, of unemployment, of regret) than by excitement. Has anyone here managed to flip that, and what was the first decision you made that was truly guided by what you wanted rather than what you were scared of? Some stories from here could help me be inspired!

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.

So why do we still have to spend all our waking time playing office?

Got any jokes?

What are your favorite millennial traits?

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

What happens if your company wins an award for your work after you've left?

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever gotten in this business?

Mine, as an account person: “You should take more credit for the creative that’s presented.”

Hypothetically, what might happen, if Strat said to fishbowl they needed a virtual hug? Other than CD potentially saying something snarky and mean ...hypothetically only.

Believe it or not, for all the talk of digital... online video subscriptions and downloads JUST overtook DVD sales. People still exist that rent dvds from netflix?

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

Which holding company gets the best rental car discount? And which rental company?

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

Anything specifically to ask when receiving an offer?
