Hi guys,
I'm currently a2nd yearERassociateat one of the Canadian Big 5 specialized in CanadianREITs. I switched toERearlier thisyear from the largest CRA firm in Canada. Soon after I joined, my analyst left to US due to personal reason which I was not aware at the time of signing. She still works with the bank but just not coming back to Canada. Tbh, I think she is looking around for jobs since she is inNYwhich makes sense. But I don't know what should I do now!!! I declined a big 5 bank REIB senior analyst offer a month after I joinedER, which I would be an associate now if I took it.
My background:
- BeforeER, spent a year in the largest Canadian CRA as senior analyst and covered US/CanadianREITsand REOCs.
- 2 years in Big 4 audit covering CanadianREITsprior to CRA. HoldingCPA.
Potential Opportunities:
1. REIB senior analyst in the current bank.
2. REIB senior analyst/associate in a different big 5 bank.
3. Going back to CRA as AVP, comp is similar to current role.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Bump!
Good news is that you should be able to lateral to another bank pretty easily. Everyone always wants an experienced associate but they're impossible to get as there is really no incentive to leave after the first year.
That's true, but I'm not really looking for lateral move at this point given most spots for REERassociate have been filled (have friends in other big 5). Given the case, I might just go to banking to get grind for couple years…
when bonuses are paid out in Jan/Feb there will be a lot of openings as people shuffle around, so if your looking to stay inERand lateral, hang in there a few more months.
Yeah, I will wait for a bit to see if any good spots open up. Will also progressing on the banking side… hope they are not pushy
