Is $80K CAD in Toronto a comfortable salary for a senior associate in downtown? I do have a significant other but I want to live alone. Biggest expense other than housing is my car

What else are you going to spend your $ on right now, everything is closed! 🙃

$80k you’re looking at $4.7-4.8k net monthly depending on your deductions. You can find a 1bd apartment for $2k or less right now downtown. Depending on other expenses and savings goals, you would be tight but can make it work! Source: currently living alone in Toronto and make slightly less than $80K

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job.

We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch.
