So as the title of this post suggests, I'm looking for a DevOps role in Toronto. I have seven and a half years worth of experience working in DevOps at a major financial institution, mostly dealing with CD tools such as Ansible, Artifactory, and OpenShift (as an admin and a user), as well as CI tools (such as the Atlassian suite) as an end user. (Perhaps somewhat unfortunately, all of my experience is with on-prem tools, no Cloud.) Before that I graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor's of Applied Science in Electrical/Computer Engineering. Right now I'm trying to explore eve ..read more

Took a new job recently but it is not what I expected (too much micromanagement/being lowballed on salary vs. peer). What are you guys thoughts on 1) pursuing for new job opportunities now or 2) suck it up for a year before starting to look again? I saw that many new roles in my industry came up with higher pay but my concern is burning bridges with current employer... Statistics: Posted by vince201 — May 5th, 2024 5:37 pm ..read more

As per the article in The Star: "larger companies will have to disclose in help wanted ads whether a position actually exists and needs to be filled, or if the posting is to find candidates for future openings. Employers will also be required to respond to job applicants they’ve interviewed — rather than leaving them hanging with false hope — which would be a first in Canada.

How long does it take an employer to find someone to hire after positing their vacancy online? I had an interview with a company back in October and was unsuccessful, therefore i did not get hired. I saw on indeed they are still looking for someone for the same position I interviewed for. Does this mean they might be extremely picky with what they are looking for?

Hey folks - which job should I choose? (British Columbia) Job 1 - Bank 1: $65/hr on contract and I will be soon fulltime so not sure how much I'll be making maybe $80k? Already doing really good at the job and have a good rapport with management? Job 3 - Bank 2: $60/hr on contract for 6 months and then it'll probably be around $80k. Both are IT roles I will probably feel guilty about leaving job 1 because things are going well there but I prefer contracting over full time. I live in BC.

To the engineers out there who aren't in software, how have your salaries changed over the last decade? I was talking about this with some colleagues and the data is really sad. I was making more money inflation adjusted 10 years ago as an entry level MIT than I am today as a intermediate/senior. Just as a reference I dug up the 2014 APEGA salary survey https://www.apega.ca/assets/peg/fall-2014.pdf Project Engineer (level C) median base salary across all industries was $101k.

My son, 17, is interested in technology and has a decent amount of experience with programming. Anyone know some places that are hiring for this age (GTA) in tech-related roles (I know it's especially hard in the tech industry right now)? Thanks for your time.
