  • “Plan how to find a job after being laid off in Toronto”

    I need help with how to find a job after being laid off from a business analyst role at a big bank in Toronto. I was there six years, mostly on mortgage and lending process changes, and my role was cut in a restructuring two weeks ago.

    I'm on EI and have a few months of savings, so I'd like a focused plan. I'm unsure whether to stay in banking, look at credit unions and insurers, or move into a product owner role, and my resume reads like a list of projects.
