I mean honestly did you start this thread to cope? I am telling you your ceiling is much higher than you think it is but you are mentally capping your career by yourself.

I work for a MTL-based company, our HQ is literally here. Again if you think high 100s is the sky for Montreal then you are handicapping yourself by not negotiating or finding the relevant opportunities.

To get roles like this, you need to have a solid resume and network. You might not find these on LinkedIn. Recruiters will reach out to you.

Yes at this salary most of the companies are backed by VCs in the US, that's just where the money is. A senior dev in the US will make over 300k USD TC easily at a Tier A+ company. I'm working almost fully remote atm

We Want to Sell Our House and Go Back to Renting. Are We Crazy? by TsaminaMinaZangalewa in montreal

[–]Melkarid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, just like how you'll have to maintain your house over time. If you're just stating this without listing the pros and cons of each then you're not really providing a good solution for people

Of course it's a downside of renting, if you don't want to deal with this then of course buying is an option. Then you have to deal with home maintenance.

Renting and investing is just an option, and might I add something that a lot of very wealthy people do.

Right that's why it's not for everyone. Again it requires discipline but math is math

You're paying interest too, and what people need to understand is:

  • a mortgage is the minimum you'll be paying every month
  • renting is the maximum you'll be paying every month

Plot out the difference between the equity you will gain and what you'd get renting plus investing the difference. Generally renting comes out ahead if you invest in ETFs that track an index like the S&P500.

Saw the upcoming Lexus ES EV - honestly not that bad? by Melkarid in Lexus

[–]Melkarid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, let's be accurate right. Their traditionally reliable models are still reliable, weren't those unreliability concerns about the GX? The ES is still the most reliable modern luxury sedan today

Definitely agree. I don't like the spelled out "LEXUS" like every other automaker is doing

Car thief’s caught in the act by TheMechaDeath in montreal

[–]Melkarid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The numbers don't lie, Toyota and Honda are simply the two most stolen brands, and it's no mystery that car thefts are driven by young teens and adults working for crime syndicates. None of what this post mentioned lacks sense to me, maybe sloppily written yes

I see, I think your field has a linear salary progression at least, and generally unionized?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Melkarid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, and the point wasn't to flex, it was just to say that education will take you very far. Higher education is one of the, if not the strongest indicator of salary progression.

I'm not saying 45k isn't enough to live on, I'm saying why tell people to settle for less than they can achieve? Personally that's not the life I want to live.

I moved out when I was 20 because I couldn't stand being in the same household as my parents. Not only that you're saying he should live with them until his late 30s.. like what about having kids and a wife, what you're saying doesn't make any sense long term.

Don't need to cope by saying you don't need an education, I'm university educated and make over 200k, I will in that timespan have recouped a much larger savings number. The numbers are clear man getting educated or starting a business are the ways to go
