My offer letter mentions occasional weekend work, but the current Analysts told me they haven't seen a Saturday off. I’m trying to decide if the six-figure bonus is worth losing every single weekend of my 20s. I was all excited about this offer, but now not so much. Is this normal? Should I expect similar from other offers?

Work hard now to work less later - if you invest those bonuses wisely it sounds like a good plan long term. At the end of the day, you have to decide what’s important to you.

I mean that’s the salary of most people’s full-time job to work an extra day a week. If you don’t want to give it up then don’t take it

That would definitely make me pause. “Occasional weekend work” and “no Saturdays off” are two very different things, so I’d try to get clarity before accepting. A big bonus is great, but losing every weekend can get old fast, especially if you already feel less excited after hearing from the analysts.

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.
