Art, travel, things to do, vibrancy, food options, parks, architecture, weather (compared to TO), music scene.. much better in London.

Quality of housing, crime levels, outdoors/nature.. much better in Canada.

Mazars good for you!! If you’re tired of Canada London may be nice for a short while. You can always come back.

150 in Toronto is okay but honestly, you won’t be able to buy a detached house for less then 1.2 mil within 1 hour of the city. If you are okay with renting or commuting farther, Toronto is a great place to be. VC i hear is expensive as well so maybe look into both and see what floats your boat.

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?
