thank you soo much for posting this! super interesting and gave real insight of the role! im enrolled in the same seneca program in the fall, and i've been really nervous abt the job market for this field. I love the field but i'm scared that i wouldnt be able to land a job afterwards so this was super reassuring! i'd love to hear more about the current state of the regulatory job market and/or any projections!
