Curious and also from Canada. Are you considering moving to Europe to find better work opportunities? Why is that so when Canada offers a pretty decent career path in tech?
- brailsafe 9y agoThis isn't a tech consideration. Tech can be made anywhere in the world. In Canada however, there are only a few places that overlap in terms of places I want to be and that have plenty of opportunities. This is pretty limited to Vancouver and maybe Montreal. So it's more of consideration towards exploration. Cultural and otherwise. Vancouver is great, but it's outrageously expensive and lacks any cultural flavor. Montreal has cultural flavor but lacks mountains and so on. There are other considerations as well, such as the vastness of Canada vs the closer proximity of mainland Europe to other countries. I'm from Winnipeg, and it's a 6 hour drive to the next minor city. Edit: I don't think these interests are rare, but I get the feeling that people more or less want to find a paying job that let's them buy a single family home and move out to the suburbs. I don't subscribe to this idea, and want to explore other avenues of living. Furthermore, work culture here hasn't been desirable so far in my career. I don't necessarily expect it to be different elsewhere, but why not broaden my horizons in that respect too?
