Looking to make the jump to Canada market from London - any insights into how they compare? Have also worked in Australia and can confirm London is much higher demand. Would like to regain some work life balance… otherwise contemplating moving out of corporate into seasonal work. Advice welcomed!

Dont move here if your primary reason is work. Sector is in massive decline - pay is dropping fast and far fewer opportunities than there used to be.

Agree with what SD1 said.

Market is in decline in Canada. We're getting hit with the tariffs from the USA which is making a lot of companies withhold spending and budgets until certainty kicks back in again. Many talented folks who are looking for work as well.

I've also worked with many talented creatives from New Zealand, Australia, and the UK for all of them to return back home a few years in citing the cost of living and low salaries here.

Not to discourage you, but I'd definitely thread with caution when deciding to move here.

Do these same concerns apply to Pharma/healthcare? I’ve also been considering the move from London to Canada (ideally Calgary, though I know most Pharma jobs would be Montreal or Toronto so also open to that.)

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

Recruiter hasn’t been very responsive.
