Unpack as soon as you get into the room. Set up your toiletries, hang things up, put stuff in drawers, set up your chargers, hide your suitcase. Makes me feel like I live there for the three nights a week

The basics: status and a good hotel pick. But also figuring out the best places for dinners.. I also like to go to really nice restaurants solo. And bringing little things that allow to be more comfortable. I used to bring a long hdmi cord so I could watch Netflix in leisure.

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.
