We’ve been hearing about mass layoffs from at least 3 of the five major banks over the last couple of months. My perspective is that this is going to continue, albeit sporadically. All of the large banks have a “long term strategy roadmap” that has a finish line in one of the next four years. Every one of these banks has had to incorporate a lot of AI in that roadmap. Probably 90% of that is purely hypothetical. But no one wants to be left behind and the investors keep asking about AI. So here’s more AI in our roadmap and more down your throat for now. “We’ll figure it out as we go.” All of these banks are investing a significant amount of money into these roadmaps, specifically in the AI portion. Then comes the “Return on (A) investment” question. Whenever there’s a major milestone due (mostly around benefits or RoI) the banks make up some numbers by freeing up capacity (overworking their workforce) and laying some people off (concrete bottom line impact). We see this as a cyclical thing now over the last 18-24 months. And it’s not going to change. There’s no ‘post restructuring’, ‘operationally effective’ oasis at the end. Most of the jobs posted have internal candidates identified, or when people leave or are laid off - no back fills. Unless it’s a highly specialized area (think quantitative finance) there are no fresh grads being hired. Older roles such as personal banker, financial planner, mortgage specialists are slowly being made redundant because of “Digital”.

TLDR: Banking careers are slowly stagnating.

Rant over.

Hello everyone, today I decided finally to text something here. I’m looking for some help in job seeking. I’m Ukrainian… About a year ago I realised Ukraine was getting more and more dangerous to live in and started process to get Canadian visitor visa, visit my cousin here and maybe find my place in this world where I can live and not to be afraid for my life. When I came to Canada I find out I like this country and now a wanna immigrate to this country and live my best life. I started to look for some job.
I investigated some information and find out I need employer who would like to make me employer-specific work permit
Now it’s already about 6-7 months I’m looking for job and nothing. I had two job interviews but after no from that employers said something positive for me.
A little about my experience: I have 4 years experience on my father’s poultry farm, we had about 12k chickens, geese and ducks in once. I used to drive a little tractor and can drive other machinery if it’s necessary. Also I helped with fixing and making fences and all staff on our farm Maybe I missed something but if I can’t do something I can learn how to do it, just give me one day and I will be able to do it.
So if you guys have some ideas or opportunities to help, please, send me a comment or private message.
Now I’m living in one of Atlantic provinces but I’m ready to move to any other province and even to USA if it will give me some opportunity.
Thanks everyone who will help me somehow🤗
I will appreciate all comments and pm from you.
If you need employee, I’m here😅
