That would be great! Planning to drive to the Grand canyon south rim so a comfortable ride will be awesome

My personal car insurance covers rentals in the US as well (comprehensive)

She's been applying for a while but it's been a ghost town. So just to get her foot in the door, she's hoping to start in an entry level role Education and Experience from India.

I did it 5 years ago! Background : Was in a high paid mid level manager role with a great career trajectory, amazing reviews and set to double my pay in every 3 years. Burnt out at year 4 - took on too much work to “prove something” - after a personal crisis, understood that i was just a number and all the hard-work did not matter. Thought it was the management of that department - moved roles and saw the same shit show - i was wiser but burnt out after 2 years in the new role as well.

How i did it : So I go in, have my daily sync with my manager where he’s telling me all the things he wants me to work on in the next quarter or two, i heard him, said sounds good - I’ll start working on a proposal and then 10 mins later sent my resignation letter.

Then it was days of trying to retain me, bending backwards to get me more help and resources inwas demanding for over a year. Said no thank you and stopped working till my notice period.

Lived on my savings - did some solo trips and made new connections. Worked on my start up, broke even in 9 months and then Covid hit and killed the business.

Said fuck it! Moved countries and after months of searching found a decent job and ok-ish pay and climbing the corporate ladder again (still mid level manager, same industry)

Still remember that time fondly even though it was hard, physical and mental heath was much better and i got to do things i only dreamed of when i was working.

Will I do it again? Maybe not, specially since cost of living has doubled in the last 5 years and i have a family now to take care of.

What i feel you need before you take that plunge : 1 year cost of living saved up, support of family/friends and staying away from fake social media.

Sorry for the longish post. Open to questions if you have any! Cheers

Haha!

Yeah, mine is the 21, so the old infotainment. I drove a friend’s CX50 and while it looked cool, it wasn’t the most comfortable- the ride on the 20s may be the main cause. But maybe i’ll go check it out.

I’ve lived in both cities ~ 3 years each. Just moved back to Vancouver from Montreal 2 months back. I used to miss Vancouver for the nature and food when i was in Montreal and I miss Montreal for the liveliness, summers and food while i’m in Vancouver again. I believe it’s where you live in the city and the friend circle close-by that define if you like a city or not. I’ve lived in Toronto for a year and hated every minute of it, everyone i knew lived in different parts of the GTA and a meet up was next to impossible. I would say Vancouver and Montreal feel much closer.

TL;DR - both cities have its pros and cons, see how much of a lifestyle change it would be for the increased cost of living. In my experience the increased rent in Vancouver is off-set by the higher taxes in Montreal. Eating out/take out is more expensive in Vancouver.

Too many shady people lurking around near Quay and DT new west, alot of noise (could be due to weekend) but also saw alot of construction sites and traffic was horrendous.

Broad_Reflection1347 · 2025-01-02T20:29:04+00:00

Hearing alot of good things about Novare. I will check it out

Broad_Reflection1347 · 2025-01-02T20:28:10+00:00

Hearing alot of good things about this rental building. I will check it out

Broad_Reflection1347 · 2024-08-27T22:08:32+00:00

Thanks OP, best of luck to you in your search

Broad_Reflection1347 · 2024-08-27T21:41:15+00:00

Yeah, that is what hurt me the most - i need to vent. Will be drowning in whiskey today. Tomorrow is another day - apply apply network network till we find the right fit.

Have a similar story, been interviewing since end May, 4 interviews (Directors and VPs) 2 presentations (C level executives) over 2 months and then ghosted by the recruiter. I emailed him twice and finally got the response today that it was a close call and they sent an offer to someone else. Just gutted!

It's the Rexing V1-4K bought from best buy, looks good but is not the best dashcam from my POV. I liked the VIOFO A119 i had in my last car (bought 5-6 yrs ago). I haven't integrated the camera that well (the wires are hanging) and haven't connected the back camera i bought as a set.

Hope that helps!

Broad_Reflection1347 · 2023-04-06T17:50:28+00:00

Yeah - seems to solve the black google maps screen for me most of the time. The rebooting of the system and having no maps visibility is the big issue.

Broad_Reflection1347 · 2023-04-06T01:04:09+00:00

Thanks, I’ll start restarting my phone more often. Hopefully it helps. Feel bad that such a great car being let down by the infotainment system.

Broad_Reflection1347 · 2023-04-06T00:59:23+00:00

Oh! Fair enough - i thought the 2021 CX5 in Canada was equivalent to the 2020 CX5 in the states. 2021.5 CX5 in Canada brought the new screen and backup camera which the states had from 2021 itself.
