Would you rather stay in a boring job (good pay, good wlb, boring work) for a year and get your green card or switch to a better company and let the greencard go? The boring job is also does not have a lot of work in the pipeline.

get your green card… it’s a year. unless pay is significantly increasing.

i think you know the answer to this unless there are way more data-points about new job that you are not sharing here.

smart

F the green card. Do good work and be in a place that gives you great opportunities.

funny

Stay for the green card. Get your professional/personal fulfillment elsewhere.

Get the green card. Meanwhile start networking and prepping

Gosh the boring job sounds like a dream tbh

You should be in que with wait period of 50-100 yrs. That may make your boring job interesting.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in this country that are ready to sweep floors if they can get GC in an year.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
