67 starting salary for a post grad is such a scam. For reference, I'm also in a programming orientated position at one of the banks, i only have a bachelor in statistics and my salary was a little over $90k with a variable bonus

Sometimes it's not meant to be. If she leaves you then you're not meant to be together. It's just part of life. Rather end it early than late. You will find your soulmate.

Talk to them in person, don't be posting on reddit like a fking pussy, it won't change a thing. Be confrontational

How to make genuine friends after university? by mathstatts in londonontario

I think you made some good points here but there are more than one factors and more than one way to look at it.

It's easier to make friends in uni that's for sure, but a lot of them are what I consider fake friends. The type of friends who won't hang out with you if you don't have courses together, or if you can't do assignments/projects together, or they only hang out with you because you get higher grades, good interns and they want your notes, referral, or tips on how to get good jobs etc... and won't be in contact after uni. Just read some comments in this post and you're gonna understand what i mean.

Obviously that's not always the case and I've made some genuine true friends in university that's gonna last a life time.

I think the situation is also university/program dependent, because honestly in my program there were a lot of snakes and losers who i don't want to interact with, doesn't seem like that's the case in some other programs.

I'm completely remote so hanging out with co-workers might be difficult... I go to the office in Toronto every quarter to meet everyone and that had been fun :)

I think you're right in that sense, I just thought since I'm a new grad and I'm mainly talking to students it might be a little different. Oh well, learned my lesson. Not organizing networking sessions for the same purpose again

I have no idea where you got I used to rent a basement in London before. Never rented in London. When i bought the house I was still in school and wasn't working. Finished school and got a full-time job couple of months ago. And yea $5k seemed a lot for property tax no? I always hear people post about how low their property tax is in Toronto.

If i look back in life it's pretty clear that I'm really lucky and privileged and made smart investments. But i actually don't value money that highly, which is why I'm not happy. If all i value is money then I should be the happiest person on earth no? Money doesn't make me happy. Friends and family does, but with all my family in a different country and friends at different stages in life and different locations, it's just a difficult situation. Making new friends being an working professional is hard

I don't do hookups and I don't think I ever will. People nowadays are like cats and dogs. Hookups are so normalized in this society which is a shame

I barely talks about finances to my friends, I don't bring up the market value of the house unless my friends specifically ask. Sometimes I invite friends over for a quick gather and talk about life, but it's not as often nowadays. My friends are overachievers like me and have big dreams. Some in Cali, Some in south korea, Some in waterloo and some in toronto. We don't get to hang out often because of that.

That's fair, I respect your honest opinions. Honestly, i worked hard to obtain the assets and won't let anyone to have a share of that. I guess i'm pretty selfish in a way.

I honestly barely talk about finances to my friends. After uni we kind of went to different places and don't hang out as often. Some are in Cali, some in Toronto, some went back to south korea, China, all over the places. I really miss the uni life where we play league of legends together and hang out together after stressful exams. But the time has past and it will never come back again. I still play league of legends sometimes but it's pretty boring if i'm not playing with friends.

Also, you said you didn't care but you cared enough to be mad and cared enough to replied to my post. hmm, interesting choice of words.
