      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Love the company, benefits, culture and flexibility of remote work

      Cons

      Getting started as a new employee was hard to get up to speed in role as it's a 'figure it out yourself' type of environment

    2. Hey, guys. Got a job in Manulife as a data governance analyst here in Ontario, Canada. Starting wage 75,000. Is that about right in this industry?

        Pros

        Really smart people that have long legacies, but they are only there due to golden handcuffs

        Cons

        There is almost no positive morale on the investment management side as it relates to how the organization is run. The economics are not shared how they should be at a traditional asset management organization and thus I see the incoming rotational analysts on the equity side essentially proving to be a rotating door. Maybe the senior lateral hires on the high end PM side get better incentives but the company runs the asset mgmt division like an insurance company

          Pros

          You’ll meet some of the nicest people in your life. They let you do your job in your preferred way and time and the only thing expected of you is to not drop the ball. Your work will be recognized and rewarded more than you think what it deserves, no matter you’re an intern or a director. Work life balance will be great.

          Cons

          The recruiter was new and I had a disappointing experience. They are way below their competitors in the market WRT compensation and benefits.

        2. Manulife folks... What is pay range for HR Solution Consultant? What is the level/ grade?

            Pros

            My segment of the company can be viewed as pretty “chill” in terms of work related stress and rto requirements.

            Cons

            Large organizations with multiple segments can lead to confusions within the teams in terms of upward mobility and transparency in communication, as reorg seems to be always going on somewhere internally

                Cons

                Decision-making can sometimes be slow as numerous stakeholders have to sign off. More career opportunities are available in Canada and outside the U.S.

                      Administrative Assistant

                      Gave two interviews recently and got a feedback that I wasn’t able to explain my role as effectively, because of which I won’t be able to transition as fast into a fast-paced environment. I have worked in one small firm and one small-mid firm, and I personally feel I am ready to take up more responsibilities and move to a bigger firm for more exposure. Not sure how else I can explain my roles effectively, even after walking them through everything, how am I supposed to utilise this feedback?

                      Im really interested in applying for Walmart but I'm not interested in the bs that comes along with it. Especially when nowadays the difference between poverty & not living on the streets is a full-time job (If you're lucky) 🥴🥴
