When Jameel Sayani (he/him) first joined MNP in Nanaimo, British Columbia, he thought it would be temporary. A stepping stone before eventually moving back to Vancouver. “But once I started meeting people, building my career, and getting involved in so many aspects of the business, it was pretty hard to leave,” he shares.
Jameel’s life at MNP started when a last-minute application turned into a same-week job offer. From the beginning, he felt the MNP experience was unique. “Within the first month, I was out socializing with different Partners three or four times. It didn’t seem like a place where I had to climb 10 different ladders just to be seen.”
This warm welcome set the stage for Jameel's journey. As his contributions spoke for themselves, he quickly realized that at MNP, hard work is not only acknowledged but rewarded. And no one is expected to do it alone — access to mentorship shaped everything that came next.
"You get to choose how hard and fast you want to run. The more you put in, the more you are recognized and rewarded."
MNP’s supportive environment had an immense impact on his earning potential and career advancement. With Partners investing time, sharing advice, and encouraging him to grow, Jameel saw the possibilities ahead. Within six years, he quickly progressed from an entry-level position in 2008 to Partner by 2014. At MNP, he’s helped build new services, expanded the Indigenous Services client group, and stepped into regional leadership roles in offices across British Columbia. “You get to choose how hard and fast you want to run. The more you put in, the more you are recognized and rewarded.”
While his career growth was reflected through competitive pay, promotions, and expanded responsibilities, it was also rewarded with flexibility. This flexibility was built on a foundation of trust. Jameel points to the ability to shape his schedule, choose opportunities that align with his goals, and focus on the work he loves the most. “At MNP, you’re not boxed in. You’re given the support and freedom to build a career that fits with you.”
Through it all, the flexibility, encouragement, and sense of empowerment Jameel found on day one, have shaped a career and a future that continues to be full of endless opportunity at MNP.
