Meditations is great, I think the Stoics should be mandatory reading.

I’ll add another and say letters from a Stoic by Seneca. So many little tidbits of wisdom about many parts of life. You can even download them for free from Tim Ferris’s website.

What base salary/ total comp to expect for a Sr PM in Toronto in today’s market?

I did tell them that I’m at final stage with other companies so they can expect multiple offer situation from me. Advice?

This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
