It's shameful that Trudeau himself started the unwinding of the carbon tax. This home heating exclusion for Atlantic Canada was the beginning of the end.

Having to pay an additional month's rent when moving has hurt me a few times, so I appreciate the pain. It's ended up costing me more than the actual moving costs.

I just signed a new contract and will be starting after the long weekend. It's a promotion and a move into a new department. I'm pretty excited since the new team sounds really interesting and the move comes with a 30% salary boost and the potential for significantly larger bonuses.

I currently work as a quant in risk management at one of the big 5 banks. I've been there for 2 years and it is my first job in the private sector.

Overall, I've been pleased with the growth opportunities I've had in the role, but I've seen some consistent issues across my department. In particular, almost every team is understaffed and underbudgeted for the expected deliverables.

Is this just the norm for a cost center in big corporations?
