lol Toronto has its problems but boring is not one of them. There are endless good restaurants, bars, nightlife, major sport events, concerts, festivals, etc. sure it's not as fun as say NYC but that has its own problems. Toronto offers everything a major city should.

There was always a joke about Toronto and Montreal as I was growing up. It goes like this:

"Two brothers live in Canada. One is a boring accountant, pedantic, and not much fun no matter how much of a party an occasion is (ps - I know lots of accountants who are a lot of fun! Please bear with the joke as a "joke").
The other is a party animal, constantly looking for the next good time, and making a good time for themselves and others when one does not readily appear!

Can you guess which brother is Toronto?" ;-p
(And, yes, Toronto is my birth place and current home...)

Which Canadian Banks or IT companies pay high(100k plus) for a mid level software developer with 4 years of experience in spring boot and angular?

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
