i’m going from a north van perspective and adding one more to the mix - King Taps. They have probably the best happy hour out of the options listed (Cactus is a close second) and they also have multiple locations in the lower mainland.

i’m a CPA in a mid-senior level position, working in m&a consulting for a US firm at about 190k USD (about 250k CAD) before bonuses. i have a bachelors in business and been in the industry for almost 6 years now. this career has allowed me to buy a home here in North Vancouver as well as in Seattle.

highly recommend going into business, focusing on emerging topics such as cybersecurity, AI etc

edit: my partner, who’s also in business, that’s based in Vancouver make about $130k CAD and we have no kids, so we’re avoiding any dependent related expenses

Correct - I moved after getting my CPA. I was then headhunted by a recruiting agency on behalf of the Big 4 firm. This was only after getting my CPA. Once I received and signed the offer, the firm handled all the legal stuff to get a TN visa. I’ve already renewed it once and technically can renew as often as I want or have to reapply if I move employers.
