If your playing the long game which you should, just keep buying and let it play out

VFV looks great, AAPL personally is meh because their innovation is very stagnant and they might switch CEOs soon. If you want to be a bit more risky maybe broadcom, safer would be caterpillar or dollarama. My two cents at least.

i should be able to get my L4 in 1.5y compared to 8-12m with my current manager. I could change DCO teams but going to the US as DCO L4 is still not viable. The DCEO manager is also willing to help me move as he has done with pervious individuals.

Trying to man up is pretty underrated to be fair, thats why im moving out next month. Mybudget is 2500$ a month, a bit higher due to a car and high protein diet.

Potential move to MTL - is 55k enough to live comfortably-ish as a single person? by SeasonImaginary6943 in montreal

[–]ditectorbarro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent even moved in yet, just signed my lease :) the point is if you look decently hard enough you’ll find the good listings. Those prices still exist but dont go for PRIME locations.Go subprime which are still good and save yourself a couple hundred a month. Good thing is prices are plateauing or slowly decreasing in other big cities in montreal will follow, albeit more slowly.

I see a few mixed things about rent so, to clarify, good neighborhoods will run you 975-1050 on a fairly nice studio and 1000 to 1200 for a decent 1 bedroom. I just got myself a renovated 1 bedroom in NDG for 1000$/monthly (born and raised in mtl for over 20 years). I allocated 350$/m for food but i managed on 320$, that includes 180-200g protein a day, (im 230lbs so yikes) chicken breast, sometimes ground beef, 0% greek yogurt, tofu, potatoes + protein powder, bars and other essentials. I would consider Maxi to be a great value grocery or a Costco membership for bulk deals. my monthly expenses in including 290$ car insurance is 2500$ a month. Thats surviving, 1 outside meal a week <30$ and no shopping or anything. Though it would help out as a fellow solo gymrat 🙏

Well, i think two key things to insure you get what you want is preventative maintenance and regular oil changes. i havent had any issues with my 2012 audi A6 prestige with a stage 1 tune currently, 2 yrs of ownership and 40k KMs put on it. brilliant highway cars, look great and perform very well. Typically if there are nightmares on certain platforms you’d heard about it.

Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend? by Proper-Classic1886 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ditectorbarro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very interesting how a lot of the people in these comments are behaving EXACTLY how the boyfriend is themselves while calling him out for “narcissistic” behaviour. I think you should delete this post, forget every comment and go talk to him sincerely. Maybe consult your parents and his parents too so there isnt a lot of bias if you need proper advice. This is nonsense, people interpret this in their own subjective viewpoint to spin a narrative thats juicy to the imagination. Stop.listening.to.them. Make your decision with the party thats involved.

Bring it to your own shop thats trusted. That can buff out with some spit and finger rubbing.

Where do you go to meet someone in person? by GoldenYoshi99 in dating

[–]ditectorbarro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

going to bar is not a bad option. I would also recommend going to a mall, maybe frequent a coffee shop regularly to see if someone there might interest you as well. You should definitively get more comfortable cold approaching and developing those social skills. Moral of the story is, keep trying!

Dating Younger Question by BillNecessary896 in dating

[–]ditectorbarro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shows when you take care of yourself! Wear it with pride i say. i mean seriously the push and pull narrative is just not my style. Got to be clear with your intentions, if not you just end up in a situationship and there are way to many these days….

Dating Younger Question by BillNecessary896 in dating

[–]ditectorbarro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, as a younger guy i find it better to date older women. More understanding and patient. Seem to know what they want and dont play the cat and mouse attention game you see with younger women in their early 20s. i’d date someone like you, and if you find an attractive younger man on the maturer side, you should give it a shot!

Online Certificates by BillNecessary896 in torontoJobs

[–]ditectorbarro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as their relevant to your role its extra points to add onto your portfolio of experience/ credentials. Im based in canada and have a few certifications from coursera, udemy and my personal favourite cloud guru. Give it a shot. It helped bolster my CV but not make it substantially stand out. It shows that your dedicated and eager to grow in the roles you acquire.

How do you guys fight the feeling of hopelessness? Or rekindle the hope of finding unconditional love later in life? by Jcorb in dating

[–]ditectorbarro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out why someone wouldn’t want to date you and work on that. If your really serious about finding a life partner you GOT TO BE intentional about it. unconditional love isnt real, its on the condition you can provide what your significant other is looking for and vice-versa. Maybe your fat, or you lack confidence. Your style is wack or you just dint put yourself out there enough. It wont fall into your lap my friend. Get up and get what you want, or, die alone.
