montreal in terms of jobs is very low paying by canadian standards. You'll make more in any other city in Canada.

People posting jobs on Craigslist are cheap. They don't even want to pay to post the job to begin with. That should say a lot.

ratio of disposable income to owning costs is 36% in Montreal, 45% in Toronto and 80+% in Vancouver.

That is the % of your disposable income you spend toward a mortgage for a single family home.

et voila...

although disposable income can not be used as a term when it is to pay a mortgage

do you think salaries are 44% higher in vancouver tag?


Posted by malek on Nov-11-2008 15:51:

disposable income means, money left in your pocket after all the taxes. (for those that don't know).

edit: usualy 25% and less of your disposable income should serve to pay housing, anything above and you start cutting elsewhere. So while the banks never talk about disposable income, they still implicitely calculate it (thats why they ask you how much heating, insurance, other payments, etc cost you a month).


It's true that salaries are still higher in Toronto in absolute terms, and that if you manage to find yourself a place to stay for cheap you win.

Salaries are lower here because taxes are higher on the employer's side here in Quebec. It's too complex to explain, but if say an employer have to spend 3 to 5k more per year per employee in Quebec, well he can't afford to offer the same salaries as an another employer who don't have to pay these.

CSST, R�gime parentale, RRQ, Training tax and some others are the "culprit"

we need to get rid of charest.

my bad malek, i always considered disposable income to be what was left after living expenses.

The difference beteween an ontarian and a quebecois is about 2500$ in disposable income a year favoring the ontarian on average. I could dig up the exact numbers though.

2500$ is a small price to pay to enjoy poutine, enjoy the habs and having to put up with plateau bozos

correct.. i'm considering making outfielders pay slightly greater fees for our presence considering the increase of popularity.. and since we are the plateau, we win at monopoly.. we own the poutine, the mount (yes, ours), mutek hq, ITHQ college, st laurent baby come on........fake dreads, our beloved 14 yr old crackheads (forgot to mention theyre pregnant) and last but not least a couple of clsc's always packed with a serious lineup seemingly used as an excuse by hobos to take advantage of the heating system in winter.

O Montreal,
You are governed by the Plateau

Dear Adam420,

If you are a skilled designer, promote yourself and do your marketing. Clubs are always looking for good ones and it pays good.

I am right now looking for a designer with my partners, we pay 100$ for front/back flyer + 50$ per flash banner + 200 $ for eVite.

Let me know if your interested, this offer is available to some others if you think your a skilled designer

Very true.
Another important thing to know is that good jobs are not advertised.
There's many head hunting firms that will never post job ads because they would only ever consider someone who seeks them out. You should decide what you want to do and where you want to work and then find places that can offer this.
Otherwise you'll be stuck with bs jobs.

At the end of the day..the best job your gonna get is thru referals via friends or aquaintances...

Posted by RayRayy on Nov-11-2008 22:51:
