When I arrived I started by going to networking events and gatherings. I am in IT so those events are probably more common than architectural ones.
I also sent my resume to recruiting companies - most are a waste of time but in my case that is how I got my first serious job. Also this was in 2019

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Hi Fishes, I want one information. If a person serving notice period of 90 days, gets released from the project and comes to bench.

Are there consultants I can hire to help me target potential video production clients in this city?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
