Landed in Canada two weeks ago, did an interview with TD up to the last stage, got call that they choose to promote a guy for the role.
Felt so sad. A 75k role.

Guys, finally got the role, same dept but two steps below, a Lil less than 65k. Resumption is on my 59th day in Canada.
I guess I'll start here and build.
Thank you for all your encouragement.

I worked in the banking industry for 9years as a relationship manager.
In March this year, I asked my boss to nominate me for sack (when you are sacked they pay you a few millions depending on your level).
The day the sack list came was the day Canada stamped my passport. I arrived Canada last month, I'm resuming work on the 2nd of next month (on my 59th day in Canada) as a credit analyst in one of Canada big 3 banks. My annual pay is a $65,000 not a bad start at all. People with $100k combined income (husband and wife) are buying houses here and there.
I encourage every banker to run away.

This CBN governor is a big idiot to say that increase interest rate is to tame inflation.

He is right.
It's basic economics
In Canada the central bank increased it by 0.25% last month, this month it was increased by 1%
There is a global inflation which is attributed to supply disruption of various commodities as a result of the Russian Ukraine War.

DonFreshmoney:
40k.?

Something I paid 10k 2 years ago, and helped someone pay this year has suddenly increased to 40k. Everything just dey reach sky level. Lol

I did for my wife and myself 16k in Jan this year. Thank God I don japa.

Op,are you sure Gf don't have mental issues ?,it still baffles me how someone can lend her schoolfees out,it seems her past is still affecting her,op i think you should report her to her family,let them sit her down and talk some senses into her if not if you marry her like that she would kill you with debts.

I know a guy from a not too well to do family that was about going to write his final year exam but borrowed his friend writing 500level law final exam his own school fee.
His friend wrote and graduated, he did not write. This is 6 years now, he has not graduated, he Stays with that his friend on Laos Island and drives bolt. I have not idea what the friend does currently

Factcheck0001:
Isn’t it funny n hypocritical at the same time that the same igbos who see no problem with a Christian Christian ticket in all their states are d same people wailing over Muslim Muslim ticket?

Whatever is good for d goose is good for the gander,if there’s no problem with a Christian Christian ticket in the east I don’t think there should b problem with a muslim muslim ticket

No be mumu you be?
Are there no Muslim Muslim tickets in Muslim dominated states in the core North?

..How far? How you see Sask now?

In Regina, love the place, small, can get around in minutes, 2bedroom got for $795 per month, can apply for Regina housing that can cut my rent bill by 50%, heard they have income support too, don't know if I should apply now.
Got a nice Honda civic too, 3700
However, I've been doing lots of interviews, but only one in Regina- Brandt. U can't compare job opportunities here to that in Alberta, however the place is nice

slydog:


I love this response. As a banker myself, this is the best response so far.
December next year will make me 9 years in the banking industry. Withing this period I have earned a masters and PhD degree. My anticipated checked out from banking is March next year. I'm also pursuing the Canadian dream.
My advise, give yourself a target of say 3 to five years, write the goals u want to achieve. Education? Very important to prepare yourself for the future. I pursued a PhD so that at the worse I become a lecturer or hunt govt appointment. This has also enabled me chase the Canadian dream,lol.
So plan. With fintech and the telecom giants going into financial services, trust me jobs in Bank will become even more u secured (its not even secured even at its best moment)
Banking should be your launching pad. Trust me, you will become a Professor far far far far more faster than growing from an entry level to become an AGM, DGM, GM, ED, and CEO.
Lemme give u an idea check from your ET level to a full manager level, check the number of levels, you'll get what I mean. Except you have someone giving 1bn deposit, I doubt u can climb higher every year in banking. It's been 9 years for me, just one promotion. But I'm happy with my degrees cos it's only a matter of time, tick tok

Nice advice I gave here.
Just landed in Canada early this month. Looking for university lecturing jobs and also banking jobs. The first banking interview I did had a pay of CAD75,000 per year, would have been a great start, didn't get the job though, we moveee

Slimcanada001:
Keep your head up man. Your yes is coming.

What was the role?

Credit Analyst

Influential101:
Don't feel sad, you'll get lots of rejection but you only need one congratulatory message to change everything and you'll forget all the pains of yesterday!

Keep your head up high! if you were able to reach final stages of TD interview, you're smart and can land even a better role! keep applying and developing yourself! I wish you the best and hope you land your dream job soon!

Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words.

Landed in Canada two weeks ago, did an interview with TD up to the last stage, got call that they choose to promote a guy for the role.
Felt so sad. A 75k role.

I am a very strong member of redeem and on the way to becoming a deacon. My elder brother is already an area pastor. If our Daddy GO refuses to endorse a Christian presidential candidate and endorse a Muslim, I will kindly quit from redeem or even ceased to be a Christian.

He won't.
Don't worry, make we wait for first Sunday if next month

kponkedenge:


Honestly, I want him to choose El Rufai so it will be an easy ride.

But I see him choosing between Guaduje and Shettima.... But my instincts says Guaduje because of Kano's population.

But whatever muslim-muslim ticket they decide to choose, Tinubu will struggle in states like Ekiti and Ondo that has a high christian population.

Even Ogun state go hard Tunubu to win

zionmde:
Let Christians unite and vote Peter obi, Muslims can vote who they want. Anybody that wins we will take it that way
I am waiting for Pst Adeboye and Pst Oyedepo to do the needful, there shouldn't be any hiding or refusing to speak out this time.
We have suffered enough, we need to take charge of our destiny

Seriously I'm waiting for Adeboye's message first Sunday of next month. I pray he doesn't disappoint. All he has to do is make reference to Petet the Rock dazzol

Wike will be the Vice Presidential candidate of PDP. I told you about 2 or 3 years ago that Wike will be on the ballot either as president or vp candidate of PDP and you disagreed. I also told you no SE person will be on the ballot of any of the two major parties either as president or vp. Everything I predicted about 3 years ago is coming to play.

Oga show us where u predicted it

End time ticket.
Ameachi? A career politician against PO? One who Wike dey mend?

Nah, we don't need career politician at this critical Junction of our nationhood.

The only person in APC that can shake PO now is PYO.
Atiku is already out of the equation

Built2last:
How in heaven's name can you have MPR of double digit and expect the economy to grow.

How can small businesses borrow and pay back with such ridiculous base rate.

We have a dumb Bleep running our monetary policy in CBN.

A clueless nincompoop running our fiscal policy in Ministry of finance

A commander in chief with no clue of what should be done.

No wonder we have been on downward spiral.

TUEH

The economy is growing now, businesses have returned to normal, however inflation is now a problem, it's a double edged sword, there is a level of inflation that's good for economic growth, but after that level it's detrimental to growth.
This policy increase is long over due, and before the elections proper, it will be increased again due to excessive inflow of cash into the economy by these politicians.

All these are true especially for marketing in banks to the extent that u may have a manager interfering in relationships between you and your spouse or parents as the case maybe.
My friend who left Polaris Bank recently sent a mail to the MD informing him of all these kinda shit

Dozie32:
This is no IPOB something, this has to do with political nonsense..

Be deceiving yourself.
The black man does not tell himself the truth.
When militancy began in the Niger Delta, they had the tactic support of the people, because they were seen to be fighting for the interest of the region, good as it may have been, kidnapping of white oil workers began until they all ran away and we lost them and most operational bases to Lagos. Later, they started kidnapping fellow black oil workers, then they entered bankers, nurses and doctors, I recall when the Nigerian Medical Association PH chapter was always in the news asking for release of their colleagues. It MAY not hv been the militants doing all these other kidnappings o, but no more oil worker again, the chicken came home to rest.

Same with boko haram. They claim to be fighting to instill the northern caliphate and Islam and destroy everything not Islamic, boy they got the tactic approval of the Northerners especially when they began targeting churches, and kidnapping children, rem thedays bombs were going off every week, lol. Look at them today, in a never ending war. They now have bandits who are becoming more daring than boko haram.

Ditto ESN and ugh, lol, they came to fight herdsmen. Good intentions like the others add that to tactic and overwhelming support they are currently receiving even from abroad, just like boko haram receiving funds and training from alqueda and isis. Today no herdsmen to kill just like not white oil workers again, so the chicken is bk home to roast, killing, kidnapping the people u initially planned to protect. Of course, it MAY no longer be IPOB or ESN doing these now- just like bandits seem to hv taken over from boko haram and kidnappers took over from militants- the end point is that, the door to lawlessness has been opened, and oh boy, the east is in for a long ride

Disgracing himself
Imagine him pushing PYO, who will say no?

bjdon:


I agree. While he's not pefect (None of them are), he remains the best candidate. He's the right age, to signal generational change, he's had a succesful tenure as transport minister, and he's totally detrabalized. I can also see him defeating Atiku.

He'll be an easy ride for Peter Obi.
The only person that can match PO is PYO.
But trust these parties to present nonsensical people

hardbody:


Well said. You guys are either poorly paid or you were entry level, either case, I am not contesting this as I have limited facts. However years ago as an SBE (Senior Banking Executive) my pay would not justify me leaving the job and doing Uber. The only issues i would have complained about are (1) humongous targets and (2) time constraints leading to lack of rest and stress. Please note, I was a back office staff (Legal Support Services). All in, whatever works. I was only clearing the fact that the OP was a contract staff (and his write-up also confirmed it).

1. I wish I was back office, pushing papers and drinking tea. You just can't try it as a marketer. We live with threats on a daily.

2. You were an SBE, on a normal back office and people close to head office see promotions on a regular. I spent 9 years in banking and have witnessed promotion once. You may say because one is not meeting targets but forget witch hunts and cliques and man know in the system. There was a time, every branch was asked to nominate 3 people per branch for promotion and you have a foolish manager that will nominate only one in her branch and dash two friends promotion from other branches. What will you do? A guy I left behind joined banking in 2007 when I was in 300level, today he just an SBO, after 15years ie just 3 promotions in 15years! One day the bank will wake up and do "age to grade" sacking.

3. The pay is poor. Not commensurate with the work load. Thank God for UK visa and Canada, bank staff these days resign two months after promotion and relocate with their families to UK (2 of my colleagues did it, to he'll with your promotion after I don wait tire, now Visa come out, u wan tie me down with promotion), lol. There was celebration in a certain bank head office March this year by people who put their names in sack list so that they will be paid off and they all had visas to Canada and UK.

hardbody:


This is very inspirational but you actually resigned as a contract staff working in a bank. Let us get it clear. No Banker employed as a full staff will resign from that job to go into bolt driving since in truth, the pay in that sector is very lucrative.

I encourage all other persons employed as contract staff in the bank to indeed seek an escape route. In the long term, they will be happy they did.

I used to be a full staff of a Bank and I still drive bolt in ph
I even carry my colleagues in my car on business calls.
How much do you think the salary is? 200k in this economy for a man with kids?
Anyways I left banking in March this year, japa levels

What's with Russian oligarchs and yachts?

Are you here now?

Flying in by 4th of next month
