I have been working in Consulting since the last 4 years and stay in Downtown Toronto and recently me and my wife are planning to move to suburbs since we are planning to grow a family. Which are the recommended neighbourhoods around Toronto which have decent white collared young professionals with around 1 hour commute to DT. Our budget is less than a million so I cant think of Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham and left only with Brampton and maybe Milton.

I hate to say this, but there’s a reason Brampton and Milton come at a discount, and everyone knows exactly why.

You won’t want to live there.

Demographics khe khe

Milton would be nice. Brampton near 407 or near Mississauga road is nice and diversified. Prices are higher though, equivalent to Milton.

Less than a million could also mean semi/townhouse and I think you can find them near the areas I mentioned easily

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
