What’s the biggest hidden cost of a slow close process? In my experience, it delays decisions more than it improves accuracy.

Why that’s happening matters most. Was there some one-off scenario where it took a while? If constant, I’d agree you’ll be losing out on more than you gain. Processes can probably be improved, and just setting expectations better.

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.

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA? Hated my time at the F300 but had thought the grass would be greener in industry. I’m starting a financial analyst position at a major hospital system in my area soon and want to stick with that for a couple years before making a transition but was curious if I just don’t have the right experience for a role in advisory.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative.

Would love something that allows me to do both?

I feel strongly that the OS App Store and Product Hunt could learn a lot from each other.
OS Store: Dictator-like in the extent that they control what people see outside the ranked lists.
- Pace of new to market apps is now way faster than turnover in "Most Downloaded" ($100b+ AR company, man..)
PH: Free market w/ OK search/community features. Feels the right amount of gritty. BUT with an overhauled design, PH has a chance to scare APPL + show the world a truly great store/market for apps.
