In 4 days, I will be completing 60 days of my lay-off from Deloitte. But, I am not at all worried, and taking time to ensure I get on right team/opportunity, which takes my career ahead.

Why can I afford to to so? Coz, I am not on stupid H1B, and just became Canadian citizen 2 months before this pandemic started. Seems like all those 7 years of wait ( i used to call it jail term here due to limited opportunities) was totally worth it in terms of stability it brings.

Happy Canada Day!

When are you planning to move there

Ohhhh Caaaaanadaaaaa
My home and native laaaaand

Next steps is to starting a enterprise software company (and not go for another job). Waited 7 years to get this immigration hurdle out of my way.

How does your pay and COL compare?

early in my career i was looking for opportunities I can learn as much as possible, and I'd say i was able to find sufficient growth opportunities here. I think next 20-30 years will be time to cash on these learnings. I can take greater risk, start a company etc. Also attended a top 20 school here, and lot of my friends did migrate to US immediately after MS.

Great move !
