What matters more on a strong finance team: individual brilliance or collaboration?
I’ll take collaboration every time; systems outlive heroes.

Collaboration. Brilliant individuals won't stick around forever. When they leave - and they always leave eventually - you find out what was actually documented and what existed only in their head. Teams that collaborate well can survive turnover. Teams that are plagued by silos created by "brilliant" individuals can't.

That is true. There’s only so much one person can do anyway. Strength in numbers. Creates a space where that can continue regardless of the individual.

Sometimes it takes a skilled leader to bring collaboration to a team. I think that’s a great skill.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

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.
