1) Move to Toronto. Equity research in Vancouver is AWFUL. Market hours on the west coast is AWFUL. My worst day was company reporting pre-market and then a west coast company reporting end of business day on west coast time. I absolutely hated it.

2) Get to know analysts. They have ultimate say in who their associates are. Often times the jobs are never posted and just referred through people.
