That's not been my experience at all. Amazon has really pushed compensation up over the last 10 years and 50-60K (CAD or USD!) would be low for even a junior position in the companies I'm familiar with. FWIW the local market is fa

The main cause is that Vancouver bans apartments on the vast majority of its residential land, and has done so for nearly a century.

There are a few, but the vast majority of Vancouver’s residential land still bans apartment/condo buildings of any height: https://twitter.com/GRIDSVancouver/status/640544192045826049

Another thing I'd add: The Vancouver Special arguably led to the legalization of secondary suites across Vancouver. Their design was optimized for 2 suites even though they were usually built in single-family zoning districts; enforcem

I think the short answer would be that the surrounding cities are often better+faster at permitting but they may have slightly less permissive zoning than Vancouver. For example “single-family” zoning in Vancouver actually allows for a seco

Ehh. The Agricultural Land Reserve really isn't the problem in Vancouver. Cities already have a ton of land where they can+should be allowing more housing but aren't (ex: the vast majority of residential land in Vancouver bans tow

I've been in a similar situation recently. I passed the interview but the position I applied for (and was really interested in) is no longer open. The nice thing is that interview results at Amazon are valid for 6 months; my understand

Rust and Swift are not really competing in the same space. And nobody trusts Apple for cross-platform support.

Yeah, we're probably never going to be able to compete with PowerShell's sheer volume of Windows integration points. Shelling out to pwsh is probably the best we can do in some situations.

by ripley12 4y ago
But then you have 2 names to remember. PowerShell's approach to naming is divisive. I'm not saying it's objectively bad, but I'm in the camp that doesn't like it.

Agreed; it’s a massive step forward for Windows and the team behind it is great.
