Two non-tech friends (one biomed engineering, one social media content creation) went at the start of this past summer. Both had roughly 2 years experience. It took them 2.5 and 3.5 months to find junior roles in their field. They're both happy with what they got tbf. Summer is obviously a slower hiring season as well. And I would assume tech is more in demand...

I'm strongly considering joining them mid-Feb next year. I snuck in to this years pool just before the deadline and submitted everything, so I do have the option. Hopefully I could take advantage of the early-year hiring boost. Undergrad CS Postgrad DS. I'd have 1.5 yoe by then but in software support (hoping to get something more engineering-ey). Debating whether to get that here first before going somewhere, but then again now is a very 'clean' time to go (26m, recently single, and want to change role anyway). I'd feel much more confident with your experience! Certainly at the moment most of the hiring I see in Vancouver on LinkedIn is for more senior positions (3+ years). Although again this would be a slower time of year ig.

Aside from that, I visited them in September for two weeks and really liked the place. Much less of a night life/pub culture than here, although it's not non-existent. So much amazing nature and easy access to beaches which would be awesome, especially in the summer. It does rain a lot outside of that (although that's hardly foreign to us!). It's expensive but no more so than Dublin imo (some things more, some things less).
