The best jobs? Granted I don't know what "the best jobs" are in Victoria, but that seems surprising. Are there big tech offices in Victoria?
If there aren't good jobs there then it's a different story.
- dleslie 6y agoThere's hardly anything in Victoria. It's a Government and Retirement town. Edit: apparently my perspective is dated; see the replies.
- TheBiffer 6y agoNo so. Victoria has a thriving software community.

- dleslie 6y agoWas just reading this; sounds like tech started becoming a growth industry recently. Neat! https://www.vicnews.com/business/booming-tech-sector-in-greater-victoria-could-be-threatened-by-lack-of-physical-space-executive-talent/ https://www.vicnews.com/business/booming-tech-sector-in-grea...
- chrisfosterelli 6y agoThere's a significant amount of startups / medium companies / consultancies but no "heavy hitter" offices like FAMGA, which is probably a driver behind the state of salaries. There is some Amazon presence through an acquisition they made on ABE books. Though there's also lots of remote workers here too for big companies like Github / etc.
- throwmyusername 6y agoWorkday. Unless they moved out of Victoria cause it's hard to recruit.
