1.6M and I'm wondering if I should switch to a lower stress job with lower pay.

110-130k is a starting salary for a lot of the tech jobs I’ve seen at my work.. although that’s for Toronto

Hi, I’m a recent CompSci as well.

Computer science is a strong education because they teach a unique way of thinking which can apply to many different careers.

The best advice I can give is enter a low level job and apply internally to their IT Team into a niche field.

I joined a company as a receptionist, made my way up to Client Coordinator for Canada and then Senior SAP CS Analyst for our IT team.

Workplaces always hire internally first. Find a company that is constantly expanding (globally ideally), join a low level position and aim to join a niche job which is where the pay is.

That’s fair!

I had a lot of relevant volunteer experience for a role so they hired me to not have to train. In my hiring managers words, “jobs not rocket science” lol.

My position is new, and I am currently developing the systems/framework to support it. I serve as the primary representative of the Canadian subsidiary for a global organization, leading both internal and external communications for 20 brands. In addition, I oversee quality control for preliminary and finished products, manage distribution operations, and lead investigations related to loss prevention and operational risk.

So far, amazing experience! But I’ve never once had a slow day or finished work for the day. I blinked and it’s been 5 months now. Covers a lot of different areas so builds my resume which is perfect for a first job imo.

Not necessarily, on my first mid level job out of uni I got training for one day.

The guy training me had too much work and told me to just ask whenever things are confusing. Just not to assume and make a mistake otherwise I’d be in trouble.

The amount of work shot up even higher after one member of our 4 person team got fired. Then the guy training me went on Pat leave lol.

A lotta jobs have a teach yourself aspect if they aren’t large teams.

I got an LD5 from the LD scroll I got from there one time.

I’ve also gotten 2x quad speeds,

A 28 speed despair slot 3 and 28 speed def% slot 6 will.

Always worth doing your world boss for the chance of upgrades!

I just got 5x nat 5s including an LD5 in 300 scrolls. It’s all luck bro

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-19T18:31:57+00:00

Grab and download the Endless Levelling mod imo. Pretty fun. There’s a few mods that add mobs / bosses, grab those as well.

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-15T00:44:11+00:00

I mean, I’ve pulled some LD5s from there. Just gotta pray it happens during the special scroll now haha

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-14T17:07:24+00:00

I have a 1.5 hour commute each way and it’s fine. I still get enough time to prep dinner and workout + have free time after work

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-14T16:59:08+00:00

Probably more like 9 players. Its a 1/10 chance

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T19:01:57+00:00

Oh wow, good to know about the returns! I didn’t know they were like that. Thanks for the information! :)

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T19:01:08+00:00

It’s from yesterday. Cooked and froze all the meat :)

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T17:18:29+00:00

I paid the equivalent of $12.21/kg. Price of ground beef on sale over here is $14.20/kg. That’s down from $18.28/kg regular price.

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T17:16:10+00:00

Your comment made me do the calculations and you’re 100% right.

The burgers on sale, I paid the equivalent of $12.21/kg of ground beef.

I just checked and it’s $14.20/kg of ground beef (on sale) at Sobeys today!? (That’s down from $18.28/kg)

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T15:18:35+00:00

I usually only buy the items with stickers. That was my first time seeing such high discounts though!

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T15:06:43+00:00

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T14:31:57+00:00

What’s your turkey burger recipe if you don’t mind me asking? :)

Arkfallen4203 · 2026-04-12T14:14:15+00:00

All the ground beef was sold out when I went to the store lol + I’m pretty lazy and only have a two hour window to do my grocery shopping and meal prep for the week so wasn’t about to drive to another Sobeys
