Outside of the finance industry, what regions or cities do you think are best for employment? A lot of F500 companies are headquartered in small towns by themselves. Are there many areas with lots of opportunities?

I think it depends a lot on the industry, but outside of finance, places like Dallas, Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Chicago, Nashville, and parts of the DC area seem to have a good mix of corporate jobs, healthcare, tech, consulting, and operations roles. I’d probably look for cities with multiple large employers instead of 1-company towns, since that gives you more mobility if one role does not work out.

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

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

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
