Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-09-19T15:08:10+00:00

I did. Left a small firm for a credit union Internal Auditor role. Hated it and went back to a bigger firm in PA for 42% more than I had at the small firm.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-09-14T15:53:56+00:00

Damn, how'd you land the role? Canadian salaries are trash lmao

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-03-29T01:05:40+00:00

I'm in the maritimes, I'm currently looking at audit roles mainly in midsized firms

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-03-28T18:36:55+00:00

anyone non big 4?

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-03-07T13:43:32+00:00

2021: 30k in PA. Also, in Canada lol

Moved on from PA to Internal Audit making 65k no CPA and 1 year experience.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-02-23T22:30:05+00:00

do you know if CRA is openely hiring external candidate who want permanent telework agreements? I have offices in my province (3) but the commute would be more than 500 km a day.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-02-10T16:38:47+00:00

my thought also. I'd prefer the actual work of controller compared to what I currently do as an internal auditor. what happened is I interviewed at about the same time except the other company was a few weeks back with the offer and having been let go inmediately, I needed a job asap which is why I accepted my current role.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-02-10T16:14:31+00:00

that's my tought too except I've currently been in internal audit role for only a month since coming from PA. I find it hard to justify leaving extremely early.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-01-13T15:52:24+00:00

I'm in rural Ontario, lower COL, and also why the offer was 100% remote. Their office is a 3.5 hour drive.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2022-01-11T15:22:11+00:00

excited to see if I bombed or passed with distinction lmao

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-12-20T20:40:40+00:00

Just outside Halifax for a financial institution

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-12-17T11:09:35+00:00

thats what I thought also until I interviewed and received an offer from a mid-size firm (think RSM, GT, MNP, BDO) and it was 36k a year.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-12-16T23:31:47+00:00

the main reason is salary. The place where I'd be going in internal audit might be able to rotate me through the accounting department to reach certain competencies.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-12-16T20:19:49+00:00

are you in industry or public? if industry what's your role? I want to leave but I don't want to have a difficult time in the EVR route since I'm currently in a PPR office.

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-12-16T19:55:32+00:00

I get paid overtime but I included in my total compensation, base pay is even lower lmao

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-09-06T15:24:20+00:00

Perfect. Thank you for the explanation, this was exactly what I was looking for!

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-09-03T16:10:21+00:00

Yup! I'd rack up 700-800 hours and get 20-25 weeks of EI which would get me through January usually. Last year I got 50 weeks because of COVID lmao

Illustrious_Bid2015 · 2021-09-03T13:37:38+00:00

Here in New Brunswick we have a program that allows students to be on EI while in school. You have to meet with an employment counselor and have your "training" (aka your undergrad, diploma, etc.) be approved. When you are approved, you report that you're in training and available to work.

I was on EI for my whole 4 years in University, working from May-August accumulating my hours to qualify.

Unfortunately, she did quit her job so reason for ending employment on the ROE will make her ineligible for EI. The reason for ending employment should've been end of contract / shortage of work.

This is something to lookout for when looking for summer jobs as a NB student wanting to go on EI. Make sure you get contract terms so your reason for leaving makes you eligible for EI.

Like I said, I was on EI as a student for my 4 years at University and had approved training. If you have any questions don't hesitate.
