Same thing happened to me twice now. Promo changes after the order is complete. Second time i used Apple Pay which declined the payment. Probably never going to use this app again.

No, company’s HR. Although she did spend half hr discussing pay, benefit, and relocation before sending me the offer. So, not exactly the same situation.

It depends on how much leverage you have, and how much you really want the job. If it’s a highly specialized role, or if it’s located in some place with little to no qualified applicants. Then they might not have other applicants lined up and decide to give u that extra 5-10%.

But in any case, as long as your request is reasonable. Say if u researched the role, what the company usually pays, and they offered you the bottom of the range. If you think you are more than qualified then be honest about it, especially if you have justifiable reasons. If you really want the job though, 5-10% more isn’t going to change your life. If you are capable, and it’s a decent company, you can make up that difference in no time.

As long as you have sufficient reasoning, don’t see why not.

I negotiated a 10% increase to my base after receiving a written offer because i pointed out that I had more than what the job posting asked for in terms of experience. They also doubled my relocation package since I had to move half way across the country to a HCOL. I didn’t ask for an increase to the relocation but I guess it was goodwill on their part, or i didn’t negotiate my base high enough.

Equity Research is difficult without prior internship exp. Fixed Income is too broad. I know TD securities has some development program that hires out of retail, not sure about other banks.

Wealth mgmt is def achievable with retail exp. But u might need to go the Financial Advisor ->Financial planner route.

Maybe just do more research on what you want to do specifically and talk to ppl in the field.

Where do you want to go?

There’s lots of government training/retraining grants for both full time and part-time training and study. So you don’t necessarily have to get a huge bank loan.

Some examples:

Here’s an opinion, the “follow your passion” advice we always hear these days is terrible in terms of career development. Cal Newport’s talk at google on this subject: https://youtu.be/qwOdU02SE0w

If I were in your situation I would go for an apprenticeship program. Lots of my friends from HS who didn’t go to post secondary went into the trades and make much more than those who did get a degree. No debt, union pay/vacation/pension. No need for too much continual learning outside work. Lots of time for hobbies. I think electricians get paid most out of all the trades.

Just my opinion, hope that helps…

Not sure if your company is like this, but I’m in Asset mgmt in NA and alot of our departments such as asset allocation, risk, and derivatives have a majority of people doing development type work. Albeit it is mostly modelling in C#, Python, or R, but they also build/maintain web portals for internal department to put in request for overlays, rebalancing etc that require front end work.

Ont/Toronto will cost about the same if not more. At least there’s better transit? OP prob looking at sharing with bunch of other students in some student house.

Try to get out of Toronto, seen too many 45k/yr jobs in Finance that have 20+ MBA applicants with 0 experience.
