I find it’s mostly reaching out to people on LinkedIn or getting contacted (or contacting) recruiters. There’s also a recruiter thread on this bowl if you search, perhaps even 2 I think.

As for your question “what it’s like here”, it depends on why you’re leaving the London scene and what you’re looking for.

Thank you! I think it’ll be massively different just because of scale. Also in the past year I’ve begun specializing in brand writing which is a smaller agency pool here so I imagine it’ll get a lot smaller in Toronto. I’m not leaving London for career reasons, mostly to be closer to my family there.

I don't have any tips for you, but just that I'm in the same boat. It's SO hard to even get on the radar of recruiters because of a lack of Canadian experience.

I eventually lowered my expectations and took a designation drop and managed to get my first Canadian gig at an agency.

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
