Canadian 1st Year Analyst - what platform to invest with?

I am just starting as a full time analyst in Canada in the next few months and have never had an investment account before. I am really keen on low fee ETF's (Vanguard, Wealth Simple, ect) but cannot seem to decisively decide which to use. What are people out there using? Any reco's?

Thanks!

If you're just looking to hold some ETFs in a TFSA/RRSP, Questrade is the way to go since they don't charge fees on ETF trades
