What do you think is the most psychologically taxing part of being in the military? I think it's that you're taught to suppress yourself.

The most psychologically taxing part of being in the military for me is the constant fear of death or injury. I am constantly worried that I will not make it home to my family, and this fear weighs on me constantly.

The constant feeling of being on edge. I'm always aware of my surroundings and the potential for danger, which is mentally and emotionally exhausting.

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.

Hi - I’ve moved to Toronto (from Asia) with 5 YOE in Corporate banking + 2 YOE IB/capital markets (7 YOE in TOTAL) working roles in Front Office and financial analysis.

Believe I’d be a great fit as an Associate in the same space at the major banks (RBC, TD, Scotia, CIBC etc) or in PE/ Asset management.

Could someone help by mentioning the salary ranges I can expect?

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book?

As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?
