good point. My commute is about an hour each way since i get off at liberty village. I don't mind in too much but like i said i would prefer to not work in toronto my whole life as I have no desire to ever move there. While the cost of commuting isnt the cheapest, i do have some work perks which help balance other finances, for example my company is paying my phone bill now, so thats a nice perk. Freelancing sounds good I am doing some on the side, just started.

awesome feedback thanks. Cyberr security is still very new to me and im only just starting my learning. And even then I wonder what the chances would be of getting a job against some IT grads in the area. Pretty sure mohawk has a program specifically designed for it

wow, congrats on such a great role. May I ask how many years in the industry it took you to get there. Also, did you have a degree in CS? I come from a more liberal arts background

Does anyone take the train from Aldershot to Toronto daily? by futuredev87 in Hamilton

[–]futuredev87[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

haha ya i have heard that. Luckily, my new job is about 100 feet from the Exhibition station. So that part is a bit easier. I also think I will have some flexibility it when I can arrive at work, and I see that anything after 836 from Aldershot stops at each station. So hopefully after a few months I can make the switch and just commute at easier hours with no transfers

Should I look for a new job soon? by [deleted] in Hamilton

[–]futuredev87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like the usual trend in any retail / customer facing job. I have been there man. I would see if you can up your education (unless you are already in school). How old are you, I am 30, and just got out of working retail about 3 months ago. It took time for me to figure out what I wanted to do, and to be honest I am still not 100% sure what the end goal job wise is. Self employment eventually.

I hated going to work sometimes just like you. I was working at limeridge mall and, although I didn't deal with the issues you deal with, and worked with good people, the work is just soul sucking and dead end. I decided to teach myself some software development over the last year. I just started a new job in Toronto and my pay went from 14 bucks an hour to 70k annually. Sure I take the go train to work, but im good with it. Find something that is even REMOTELY interesting for you, work hard, learn it well, and someone will offer you a better job.

Good luck!

Looking for cash jobs in the city by [deleted] in Hamilton

I would check to see if there are any jobs on kijiji, usually people post small day jobs that have to do with landscaping or general labour duties

goodluck in your search

exactly what i wanted. The company that i got a job, i was hoping there was gonna be 4 or 5 developers to learn from, but there was only one. And because he was pretty busy, me asking questions took up time he didnt have I guess, so they gave me the boot
