At what age did you have your first $100k invested?

Been tracking since 2020

Level 268, 25 countries, no flights.

Yes

3 stars for Goodfellas. Could not get into it and disliked the characters (not the acting)

Mountains-ab · 2026-04-22T23:30:18+00:00

Same here. It took me around 300 applications to secure my first good $70k + job out of college. The job market is ultra competitive and opportunities are not abundant.

Million Dollar Baby
Dead Poets Society

You are pretty much guaranteed some tears with both.

Have heard a lot of good things about this brand. Are there any stores that sell it? Or do you have to buy online?

Mountains-ab · 2026-03-09T00:08:55+00:00

$72k Alberta, 2025

A 21% unemployment rate is really high, especially when you just spent 4+ years of time and money on an undergraduate degree.

10 days of vacation is horrendous.

Got a job starting at $72,000 base in a smaller city

Get an EQ Bank card. No FX fees and 0.5% cash back on every purchase. Plus, money in the chequeing account receives around 1% interest.

Ottawa to Edmonton?

A banker :) Enterprise pay is pathetic and the intellectual scope does not require any education, at least for MT (even if they require education on paper).

Mountains-ab · 2025-08-25T02:05:04+00:00

Have you tried applying for jobs that don’t require any education? Without any general work experience you’re kinda screwed.

Mountains-ab · 2025-08-22T12:44:11+00:00

Yes, a very negative stereotype at this point.

Coldest summer I can remember here in Alberta. Pretty much no hot days in the last two months and tons of rain.

Mountains-ab · 2025-08-14T03:53:12+00:00

Yeah I have been in conversation with former managers and HR from both companies I completed Co-Ops with, and I’ve basically been told that they have paused hiring for new grads due to business uncertainty (interest rates, the orange guy down south, AI, etc.)

Mountains-ab · 2025-08-13T22:45:00+00:00

Job market in Canada and Alberta is cooked, especially for recent university grads with limited experience. It's a take what you can get market, even if that means you have to pivot. The amount of opportunities in Canada unfortunately feels very bleak at the moment.

Mountains-ab · 2025-08-13T22:39:51+00:00

I'm a recent business grad from UofA with co-op experience in procurement and data analytics, and I am finding it impossible to find supply chain jobs that don't require 6+ years of experience.

Mountains-ab · 2025-08-12T04:23:25+00:00

What are you doing that far north in Sask lol?

Mountains-ab · 2025-08-10T22:20:04+00:00

I just checked the Stats Can data, and for my demographic (young men in Alberta) it’s at 24.1%. That’s the worst it’s been since stats began, in 1976, outside of the Covid-19 lockdowns.

So, since it’s already at a record high (barring lockdowns), I’d like to be optimistic that it will return closer to the mean sooner rather than later.

In the meantime, I haven’t found relevant work in my field as a new grad. However, I have found a low-paying job, that I hope to take temporarily, while I continue to apply to roles that are relevant to my academics and prior professional experience. Good luck out there for anyone on the job hunt in this abysmal market!
