And then again it depends on whether you had to move away from your parents to attend university. If you live within commute range of your university then you can get away with 20 to 30k expenses in Canada (depending on University). If you have to cover rent then it's a different story :) That said, Toronto is one of the most expensive cities in Canada in which to live. IMHO he still thinks the tech sector is in a depression and developers with 5 years experience can be had for a pittance. What made me laugh was the "4%" vacation pay. That's a legal requirement in Canada for full time employment. Not a bonus. Cheers, Rob. -- ...........................................................
