What do you think is the household income needed for a comfortable life in Toronto? By comfortable I mean you have kids, a house that may be modest but is enough space (eg 3-4 bedrooms).

I’m in a little of a pickle but a good one. Offer A. Established “start up” doing well financially and projected to hit profitability. 130k base. Stocks offered, unlimited PTO, and 70% Medical covered. Offer B. Is at a business much larger…90k salary with 10% bonus and generous stock offering. Titles are different which is why the pay is much different. I know some may think it is a no brainer but offer A allows me to grow the department ground up whereas offer B id be apart of to just different

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow.

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

She is giving them an additional 4 days which she wanted to use on vacation. Did she do something wrong?

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA?

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke.

Hey everyone, I want to go tobogganing somewhere in Toronto, ideally Riverdale park - can someone tell me if need to get my own sled / equipment?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
