I need a job😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

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?

Hello. Does anyone know what is the pay for a junior and senior Data Engineer - Web Scraper in @Certik ?

Any company (consulting or others) still sponsoring h1b visa or green card for new hires?

Hey guys,

Currently in Saas sales for MDM and AV, but I'm getting tired of the sales side and constant budget chase. Probably also because we get few leads and I have to do a lot of building pipeline from scratch. I'm thinking about taking some online courses to try to move over to cyber security, what would be the easiest step that way career wise- preferably also away fro sales?

Will Amex restricting guess access for Centurion Lounge actually make any difference?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's next, everyone has to spend min. 50k a year to get Centurion lounge access or pay per visit.

Any thoughts on food (fast casual) and/or lifestyle franchises that are at present, underrated, but well position for growth in the next decade?

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?

Anyone in printers row know of good gyms around ~$50? Looking to avoid LA Fitness at SouthGate or XSport (reviews seem to agree - they are a mess). FFC is just not in the cards rn.

Hi 🐠 🐟!
I made solo reservations for Ever and Oriole in early October for Nov 4th and 5th. It's looking pretty dire that I'll be able to get in. Did anyone make a reservation at a Chicago Michelin restaurant and have someone drop out at the last minute? I would love to take their spot.

Thanks in advance!

Did yall hear about the Chicago mom who had her kid taken away because she wouldn't accept that her child was transgender? As a parent, that's actually kind of scary that the government would that with no basis of abuse or neglect. Smh

I’m interested in joining a networking / professionals club in the city to meet other ambitious people in industry / banking / consulting. Anyone have a good experience with any groups like this? Thank you in advance :)
