should i take up a 67k job(assistant professor job in mcmaster university @ hamilton)
If u r out of canada n planning to move to canada n u got this job before coming here then its GREAT!U should go for that!
U break VJ's record!
Dear Asstt. Professor,
67k is Great enuf to start with. However, getting 100k by 10 years may not be a good one, as by then you will know self-worth. If you are risk-taker, then within 2 years, I am sure, u r going to explore further better opportunitues. And if you want to settle down in one place, well then too 100k is a pretty good amount.
And Smartguy, what is VJ's record?
Regards.

Special Requests: Please call me after 5:30 because I am self-employed and my employer does not know I am looking for another job
Thanks Smartguy,
I guess, VJ's record stands intact. I am nowhere near that. Kudos to record-setters

Compared to...?
Scene 1:
You have no job - Don't you take what you are offered unless you wish to remain jobless?
Scene 2:
You have a job and are looking for a compare - More details required about your current job to do that.

how good is the money that i will be making as compared to others in hamilton
What exactly is your question? Who are "others" that you want compared with? Hamilton is a reasonably big place and has people from a wide spectrum. Very rich(people making more than a million a year) to the very poor(making 7dollars an hour).

is the money good enough for a family of four? (considering that i want to visit india once a year with my family..)
With C$67K as gross you will likely have a net of somewhere around C$4500 per month after deductions. Some others who are good at crunching numbers like crenshaw might give you a more accurate figure.
You have said that you are a family of 4 but have not written the ages of your children. Are they in university/college or in school? 67K is not good enough to fully support college going kids, especially if they live away from home.
Even assuming that they are in school, I do not think you will be able to save more than C$12000 to C$15,000 a year max. Don't ask me why? Money just seems to slip away unnoticed! And if you plan to visit India every year, and I presume it will be during holidays, you may very well write off C$1500 x 4 = C$6,000 on airfare + other associated expenses(gifts etc) of maybe a $1000. That will leave you with a saving of C$5000 to C$8000 per annum.
Summary: C$67K. Nothing to write home about, but good enough to keep you in reasonably shape here.

any idea about how much a house is going to cost me there
A 2 br house/apartment would cost you anywhere from C$850 to C$1200 a month. In some cases that includes hydro(the term for electricity here) and in others it does not.

I did not know his location. Did I need to know that? Whatever his location is/was, the 2:00 am morning time Canada wouldn't change, and I guess most Canadians sleep at that time
