In 2024, I shifted my 3rd job in last 4 years. I was at 170k at shit company with loads of work to now at 103k - drastic cut since the new job looked really exciting. I am 35. Current job doesn’t seem to be much attractive. Did I make a mistake? I have only 250k invested and want to retire in next 20 years with 3M as retirement corpus. Currently wife and I have no kids and rent but planning to start family and buy a house. Should I apply for new jobs? Will it mean changing too many jobs?

103k/year is still better than nothing. Keep applying and jump ship when you find something better.

Omitting a job isn’t lying. You don’t need to include every single job on your resume — only the ones that are relevant. Would you also include any part time jobs for extra income? I definitely don’t.

I don’t see harm in applying, but this is a lot of job switches. You’d benefit from doing some thinking about what you want so you don’t end up feeling this way in a short time again. Your retirement goals seem ambitious given your current income, savings, career confusion, and planned housing and child expenses.

Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

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?
