Then won’t be a problem!

Consulting branch was rebuilt based on a solid number of Quebec local based Boutique firms acquisitions. The culture is somehow siloed and you will see some legacies on behaviors (e.g. family first on talent and staffing decisions, traditional leadership, them vs us). On a positive side, some of their historical leaders have a strong market presence with the “Quebec Inc” business community, they also tend to be more competitive on salary (while hiring and cutting fast). Consulting is also close to their Deals opportunity opener, but that’s not specific to QC.

Industries are different, major clients are air canada, bombardier, some manufacturing and food processing companies, etc

Thanks for the info D1.
@D3, aren’t most of the insurers headquartered in Toronto? Would you be getting different types of projects in their Montreal offices?

Avoid bombardier

Why?

Been there for four years. DM if u hv specific questions

Why would you move from Toronto to Montreal? That seems backwards career wise in my opinion. The salaries are way less and so are the opportunities

I worked in Montreal before getting headhunted and asked to move to Toronto. I reached a cap in Promotion because the team is way smaller so less room up top. The only next step for me was to either stay with the same company (ACN) and move to Toronto or hop to another firm and I did the latter

Higher tax

Lower housing cost

Does anyone know about Stabilix solutions? Growth opportunities and wlb?

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

I was discussing my recent job search with some friends and we got into a small debate. I stand firm on not wasting my time applying for a job that doesn't post the salary with the job description, anyone else do this? I feel like anytime I have interviewed for a job that didn't post the salary, they end up lowballing me during the offer phase.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
