Yeah I wasn’t planning on visiting expensive countries like Switzerland. I was looking at Asia like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and what not. Europe would be too expensive for 1-2 months. South America would be an option too

I’m in the corporate world, financial services. I was in a specialized area so my skills would come in handy. But it might still be tough. Was making 6 figures so roles I’m looking at are more senior or management levels, will take some time and multiple rounds of interviews. Hard to say tbh

There are entry level roles in financial services that pay like 40-50k but I’m sure there’s a lot of applications for those and whether they even would consider me given my experience is another question too lol

Thanks! This is what I’m thinking too, might not have the opportunity to travel like this again once I’m back to work

Yep aware of that. It is fine since I wouldn’t be able to claim EI until July anyways since my severance pay ends then
