Always go with a large company. Large environment gives you exposure with enterprise level process and technologies which translates to better pay down the road.

I have to agree...

Or just send their kids here on student visa and have them obtain citizenship later.

Yup, general public can bitch and moan about 100K salary but not much they can do. The biggest beneficiary are the employees, especially ones with colleagues on the list.

It's probably cryptolocker.

If you don't need any files then re-install from a clean OS CD.

If you do, you'll probably need to pay up. I believe they will give you the key to decrypt your files.

What we do need is a sunshine list like Ontario. It'll be an interesting read.

Wage for foreign live-in caregiver is set and it is near minimum wage ($10.11). Secondly, their goal is to get permanent residency after two years so as long as you are paying the aforementioned wage...

Starting at 170K, it's nothing but a quick cash grab by the developers on aspiring entrepreneurs aka cash rich immigrants.

If it's filled with stores like the ones you see in a typical Chinese...

With a paid off house (I am assuming), and a government pension, I don't think you really need to do anything. As for emergencies, your wife has a brother there so I think it's fine.

Full resole is ~$100 (Arches at Northland).

AFAIK, if you shoe is not Goodyear welted, it can still be resoled but it may not feel the same.

Overall I think we do cherry pick via the point system (skilled professionals), or $$$ (investment/entrepreneurship).

It's the refugee system that needs a closer look. IMHO, refugee system seems...

Higher the thread count (e.g super 150) = LESS resistant to wrinkle. Higher count doesn't necessarily mean it's better.

I wanted to give Indochino a try but a quick google shows a lot of poor...

For suits, they do carry their 1818 line at the outlet. Just avoid their "346" which is their outlet line.



It's SF....lol take what they say with a grain of salt. Not everyone can afford...

+1, in my experience it's a common practice among immigrant families. I do the same to my kid as well.

+1.

My local WR candidate was door knocking several weeks ago asking for my support, earlier this week he was at the transit station in the morning talking to commuters. PC candidate is no where...

lol, it's probably more effort for you to keep this going. To Telus, you are just an account with some balance owing, which I am sure they deal with on a regular basis.

Modern Tailor's quality is so-so. Buttons are falling off a few shirts I bought in late 2010 and early 2011.

Maxwell's fit is good but crappy fabric. Plus I hate picking out shirts from fabric...

any recommended place in the NW?

I usually use Tuscany Dry Cleaner (I am in Tuscany), but I'd love to try some cheaper, mom&pop shops in the NW.

How long have you been in the sector?
8 years

What position are you in?
Digital Forensics/IT Audit

What Experience do you have?
Linux Systems Administrator and some security cert(such as...

I don't usually dig up old thread, but this is a relevant follow-up.

I ordered service from Dr Green (http://www.doctorgreen.com/) in 2010, bills were paid. This year I didn't order any service...

Looking back, where you end up in IT depend on the first couple of jobs you get after school. A lot of comp sci grad I know end up on the infrastructure side such as sys admin/storage/VM or security....

Great wallpaper/t-shirt material.

What you described carries far more risk. Additionally, some location will not allow non-franchised vendor. For example MRC only allow franchised vendor, all the non-franchised tenants were booted a...

Pickup franchise magazine at your local chapters and start there.

Location is the most critical factor to your success.

If you don't have least 300K - forget about food franchises (new)....

Are we talking about CS?

When times are good you should be in the private sectors to maximize income.

Useless IMO. Lots of Caucasian in HK so they are not that special.

Not true. I've posted job ad through the government site where I asked for a second language (not French).

Language is a skill, it's no different than asking for MS OFFICE skills IMO.

Instead...

Bunch? really?

Aside from UC, I only know of Queens, and it's 1 year for business grads (excluding EMBA).

I predict Richmond B.C. or maybe GVA will join the California Republic...

+1, sounds like you prefer IT infrastructure (network/storage/sysadmin)...SAIT should be sufficient.

L6S was the flavor of the year in 2009 at my work place. I never finished yellow belt course even though it's only a few hours. Another reason is that I've never seen any IT job posting that asks for...

Yes, I get various email from recruiters, companies through Linkedin. Personally I think it's far more useful than resume on Monster/workopolis.

For IT infrastructure jobs (sys admin/networking),...

I thought Bret Hart lives in Dalhousie. West of 53rd.

well according to the article I read on the Herald, it seems the developers are content with being number 3 behind Market (14mil visit/year), Chinook (13.5).

It's probably pocket change project so the architect didn't even bother show up. I am sure some Canadian architect could've used it to beef up their portfolio.

When I was there about ~5-6 years ago there were plenty of these type of clueless classmates. A buddy of mine graduated without knowing how to program. He always volunteer to do documentation and...

+1, *nix server admin now but getting tired of it (the role, not IT field). I just want to go a different direction (IT audit, security) within the same field. However I don't think I can ever switch...

No we can't.

- IT

maybe they'll eliminate red lights and stop signs as well - problem solved.

true - for fresh grad. However IMHO anyone in IT security should have at least a couple of years of real (not help desk) system/network admin or software development experience under their belt.
