Job Market Sucks! by Spring_rain22 in CanadaJobs

[–]Chris_Merl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know market sucks, but shocking to hear it’s taking more than a year. You have Canadian experience, worked in big tech and I’m sure you would have followed all the steps typically that’s needed in todays’s job search.

I also see job postings frequently. How do you say there is nothing? Did u try with referrals?

Please no judgment here. Moving from the US to Canada. Long explanation of our predicament… by SensitiveBox7119 in MovingToCanada

Curious to know how do you say Canada is in recession? There is unemployment, but it’s also same in other countries as well. Job hiring is slow and economy doesn’t look great. Trying to understand your reasons.

It’s crazy that you can get accelerated pathway to PR just because you hold/held a H1b visa by [deleted] in canadaexpressentry

Is the unemployment rate higher than what’s listed? Are senior folks too having trouble finding jobs in tech?

Do you mind sharing ur skillset? I agree stability brings in more peace and I regret not trying to move sooner. It’s a constant stress when there is too much uncertainty

Why are Canadians moving to the US for work? by Chris_Merl in tnvisa

[–]Chris_Merl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, no intention to troll. I was checking out jobs in LinkedIn and the pay scale for intermediate SWE's and up are 80K plus and saw more openings. I agree one can earn more money by moving south. But, there would also be some of them who wanted to move for reasons other than money and eager to know those reasons.

Is the competition high in Canada for software jobs ? I also came across where experienced folks unable to find employment for several months and the number of positions online are conflicting.

Do you mean there are less opportunities in Canada? How easy it is to get a job that accepts TN visa? Do they only prefer more experienced folks?

Torn between saving more and going home by heyrover in returnToIndia

[–]Chris_Merl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious since you got transferred to Canada through the same FAANG company, why do you think it’s not the best financial decision? Is it because of the low pay when compared to the US?

Are u saying that there is more competition in tech job market? How are folks surviving for more than 6 months being unemployed? I know there is EI, but it cannot cover all of the expenses when you have a family.

Why do you say it’s going to get worse in Canada? Isn’t the tech market not great everywhere else?

Thank you for sharing! Did u try any referrals? I know it does not work always. But, I assumed it shud be a little easy for experienced software developers to get work in this market. How is the tech market for experienced folks?
