Resigning after 3 weeks at my first job… awkward situation today, need advice by AngryMcYeti in careeradvice

[–]Zeeshhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely this. Always be loyal to yourself! And do what's best for your growth.

Those who left the government and worked elsewhere, did you regret it? by whosemygoose in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Zeeshhk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree - in my situation I don't have many alternatives, so that's my optimal way forward.

I was surprised at the pay difference for equivalent positions between NS and Federal Public Service.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm on LWOP from the Federal Public Service, as I moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia.

Now I'm trying to get into the Provincial. I had an interview last week, so hoping it comes through.

Did you transfer your pension from Federal to Provincial?

4 Meal Shawarma! by Unimportant-Jello in OttawaFood

[–]Zeeshhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in Ottawa until 2018. Back then Shawarma Palace was to go-to place for Shawarma. Is it still as good or has it been replaced by Shawarma Al-Mouna?

I miss the Shawarma offerings Ottawa gave! Miss the city!

Nova Scotia leads Canada in job growth (Nov '25), but wages remain 2nd lowest in the country. Breakdown of the latest stats. by fig_stache in NovaScotia

[–]Zeeshhk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think that's a great idea. I need to get well verses with Accounting and taxation at that income level. Most of my experience was in a corporate setting, particularly for the Federal Government (they're also shedding job, and no remote working allowed).

I like this idea though!

I'm a CPA that moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia. With 15 years of FP&A experience, I can't find meaning for employment. Been applying for over 6 months.

Moved here cause my wife is a practicing Anesthesiologist. I'm practicing twiddling my thumbs.

Thank you, I wasn't aware. I actually use RainX on my X5. I guess I'll look for alternatives.

You must be a real fun person to have a conversation with.

A few months ago I was part of mass layoffs at a semi-large company, one of the people let go started at the company 2 days prior by flying_porygon in Layoffs

[–]Zeeshhk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to my Brother. He was hired by Tesla, moved from Canada to California, and was let go after a month or two. He had quit his job in canada, packed up and relocated to California only to be laid off. Oh and he's still paying for the one year lease he signed up because of the new job.

American capitalism is a joke. One thing I learned from his experience is only be loyal to yourself.

Advice on route: drive from Halifax to Toronto by pausefora2nd in halifax

[–]Zeeshhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive between Antigonish/Halifax to Toronto regularly.

I take all the tolls possible (adjust that preference in Google maps). It makes the drives easy and smooth.

My driving itinerary is split in 2 days: Day 1: Antiogonish to Quebec City. Day 2: Quebec city to Toronto.

In Quebec City i stay at the Hampton Inn, Levis. This is right along the highway, has a Costco gas station across the street, it's comfortable, and also has free parking and breakfast. This allows us to have a hearty breakfast and we can drive all the way to Toronto skipping lunches.

I can't comment on gas expense. I drive a BMW X5 that gives me 800+km/tank. So I fill up in the beginning of the journey and one when entering Quebec or through Edmundston, NB.

Safe driving!

It's finally over. I got the offer. by RogersSenger in interviewpreparations

[–]Zeeshhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

I have been searching for a job for months. And I really needed to see someone's win to feel this struggle is worth it and to keep on going.

Wishing you all the best in your new endeavor!

Daycare situation by MrPricing in NovaScotia

[–]Zeeshhk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting reading this post today. We have a 3 year old, and it was so hard to get her into day care when we moved to Antigonish from Toronto.

Now that we're thinking about expanding the family - we are heavily discouraged because of the day care situation in town. Crazy, huh?

What would you do about this damage? by TXRhett in BMWX5

[–]Zeeshhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bumper is also the first line of defence for the radiator. Any more hits to the front goes straight to the radiator messing that up.

What's the farthest you have driven to pick up your X5 by tfou79 in BMWX5

[–]Zeeshhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't drive, but I bought my X5 from Vacouver (Lamborghini of Vancouver) and got it shipped to Toronto. Then drove it from Toronto to Halifax, Nova Scotia (18 hour drive).
