Agreed. @OP have you considered a move to London instead?

The job market is not very good right now. I'm not sure about Canada, but the United States is pretty grim. And Seattle is extremely expensive. I would encourage you not to move here until you have an offer in writing.

Really depends on what space you’re in. Although I would imagine if you’re looking for finance roles, you might have more luck in SF or LA. SEA does have some smaller investment firms and larger companies to look for roles at
