I’m Canadian. The only thing I could have done better is move to the states. I thought FAANG in Canada was the right choice in the long term despite the low pay but it’s a huge mistake. My life is a dead end right now and I need to get out. Until then I just sit here and cope and seethe
The mistake is Canada, not FAANG. Essentially no career choice pays enough to afford RE in Canada without supplementation. I recommend moving because things are going to get much worse before they get better.
Saying "FAANG" without clarifying "in Canada" was completely misleading. Since the only reason you brought it up was to signal high income, it must have been deliberate.
Also, you went straight from "I've always known what the best choice is" to "I thought FAANG in Canada was the right choice... but it's a huge mistake."
You're spouting nonsense and contradicting yourself.
Everyone else, sorry for having accidentally fed a troll.
Are you illiterate? I said in my original post that my compensation is adjusted for my own country.
> I feel like I’ve always known what the best choice is and the “path” is which trade offs I choose. There are no good options
Why do you act like I chose to work here on purpose? I wasn’t smart enough for the jobs i wanted so I picked the best option that was available to me. I was wrong. I know that an American FAANG job is better
