You mentioned that you immigrated in April 2003, and struggled for around 6 months or so. Does that mean you got an IT job around Oct/Nov 2003 ? or did you get the jov recently.

Since this your first job in your related field, IMO the salary is good for a start. I'd suggest you work with this firm for atleast a few months and get some good (Canadian) experience. That way it'll be easy for you to make a switch. Hamilton being a small place your cost of living should be low. Subsequently you could look at moving back to Toronto.

My 2 cents...

Dear Wham,

How do u know that many IT professionals in GTA make $80-$100k? Do u know how much experience they have and where they worked before? Where they studied (educational background, etc)? Are they locals or desi immigrants who came in the same year like u? And most important, have u seen their paystubs to know that they make more than $80k? I may sound rude, but I am coming straight to the point. Given your stature, people expect u to be more matured. And I am sure u r.

My suggestion would be to get some more experience and then jump over to a good consulting firm or even the Fed Govt where Oracle is used widely. More stable as compared to the private firms.

Final word: think rationally.

DIO
