  • You're not driven by the vision of building Canada's top business finance platform. 
  • You’re not an outstanding communicator.
  • You’re unable to juggle multiple priorities.
  • You work best when a manager is always providing the next project.
  • You prefer predictable routines over the dynamic, independent nature of startup culture.
  • You’re uncomfortable working independently, remotely, or asynchronously.
  • You aren’t a team player.
  • Resilience and openness to direct feedback aren't your strengths.
  • You aren’t comfortable taking calculated risks.
  • You have an ego.
