Got a job offer in Vancouver... should I take it?

[JLee]

Hello everyone,

Was wondering what you guys thought about moving from GTA to Vancouver. I want to keep the company name private, but they are pretty reputable. I received an offer from them early last week and am going to be brought in for an interview next week. The pays a bit better but I get a good amount of benefits.

I get to see my lil bro and it is also cheaper to fly home to California during holidays and vacation.

I honestly like both Toronto and Vancouver, so it is a toss up. What do you guys think? Should I take it fit I get it?

Best,

I know what you mean! During the time I was there a couple weeks back it was just constant on/off rain.

If it were me, I would have to be offered a considerable raise to relocate to BC. The stories I hear about the taxes, gas and living expenses from my collegues over there, I don't get how some of them get by lol.

It does sound like a beautiful place to visit though.

Vancouver has a very mild climate compared to the rest of canada.. Most years winter is 1 day of snow, and it rarely falls below freezing. People complain about the rain, but mostly spring is rainy.. The last few summers have been dry and hot. Don't let the cost of living detract you from moving here either, its a great city.

Alberta doesn't have the HST or provincial sales tax. And i say move to B.C. family is important and they don't last for ever.

Come to b.c , you will like it! If you are into skiing in fresh and awsome SNOW then this is a place to be. Yes b.c is all around pricey to live in but say if you work in Van city you could buy a condo or house or whatever out in the valley, if you do this your home will cost much less. Our house is for sale right now! Buy it, lots of room for big tanks, lol

Update****

Got the job. Took me a while to consider the pros and cons but I've decided to move to Vancouver. Going to be moving around Nov. hopefully completely settled in by New Years. =]

Maybe getting a new larger tank and possibly a aro community in the works?!?!

Congratulations, that is awesome news!

We'll have to get together for a coffee when you are here; I can introduce you to at least a dozen aro keepers I know locally.

That sounds like great fun - always a great pleasure to meet fellow enthusiasts. I can't wait, thanks Theo!
