EP 008: The Consultant Who Wasn’t


Listen Later

This week on Roast the Post, Jen and Paul head to St. John’s, Newfoundland to dissect a Loan Consultant role at a national alternative lending organization. Is it a friendly “consultant” position, or a retail banking sales job in disguise? From uncapped bonuses and 7% RRSP matching to AI disclosures and background checks, they unpack what the posting reveals about structure, transparency, and whether you can realistically build a career at $17.52–$22.50 an hour. Surprisingly, this one doesn’t burn. Instead, it raises a bigger question about respect, clarity, and what “entry-level” roles should look like in 2026.
