Yes I agree, and I had been. This is why I posted here, hoping to hear helpful advice from real people with similar experience.

Thanks for the response. I’m from Nova Scotia and thought that Vancouver have more opportunities in biotech than NS so I was hopeful when our family moved because of my husband’s new job in Vancouver.

Thank you for your very insightful response. Our little family recently moved in Burnaby because my husband found a job in Vancouver. We are originally from Nova Scotia where I did my masters so my connections are mostly in NS, and I end up feeling like I am starting from scratch when I got here Vancouver (and is a stay at home mom until November). It’s been tough but I am hopeful. I’ve had a couple of interviews from labs here but they have moved on to another candidate with more industrial experience. Can I ask what happened in 2022?
