The Official Toronto Discussion Thread

[Givethanks]

I dont live there but my ex still lives there

in regards to job market, I'd personally stay in toronto (marketing). Too many companies arbitrarily asking for french or its part of their company culture

I'm in Ottawa and I work in electrical tech. Construction based right now, big thing about here is you have to know french or have a connection.

But everyone's goal is to get into the govy, that's how you know you made it in Ottawa lol

I had a friend that moved to Montreal and he moved back because it was hard to assimilate in the culture and move up. I think he had a difficult time speaking French well which was a big no no if you're trying to move up. There are some positives though because it's much cheaper to live there compared to here, but career wise it isn't that easy to transition i bet

From 2020 alot of day party joints/lounges and club districts closed down

Bathurst and Front already has construction for that big ole mall and now the area is completely cooked

EFS, Door3, Lost & Found and all dem white joints still around tho

I used to live by Bathurst's and Front by those lakeshore condos in 2013 era...I remember when they started the construction there, it looks different now.

What do you mean is completely cooked though?

Theres a lot of folks in toronto that assume you can just move out there and pay $500 a month in rent and hold down a minimum wage job, only to end up living in St. Michel with roaches and Haitians tryna rob you en francais

My nephew moved out to Montreal for a bit when he got a DUI out here and ended up working at MindGeek. Had a little basement apartment. He was doing ok. Nothing crazy.

I couldn’t move there though. Driving around confusing as hell. Especially at night.

I also have a government job (provincial though). I can get my full pension at 55, only thing is the pension as well they take so much out of your pay.

Someone making 10k less than me a year in the private sector would take home more than me
