Left a company 4 months ago after seeing the writing on the wall (multiple rounds of layoffs, budget cuts, people jumping ship, worsening culture from leadership). Apparently they cleaned house after I left and axed my old boss and others too.

Now I’m sitting in a nice big office instead of a cube I have to reserve, making $50k/yr more, with even better hours. So glad I didn’t listen to people saying to stay put. Trust your gut y’all.

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.

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
