I am sure you will be okay and will get the job. Just hang in there and be patient



Ok I got a voice mail from the recruiter updating me on the current status of the background check that is currently being conducted.

He did confirm that background checks can sometimes take a while and we have no choice but to wait. It's been going on for a week now but he said that the 'offer' is going to come really soon (subject to the results of the background check, of course). Good thing I was able to resist the temptation of following up with them because if I did that, that may affect my leverage when we reach the $$$ negotiations :)

Again, good luck to everyone!

Does the range 50CDN-65CDN/hr sound reasonable for a 10-year exp. IT professional (purely contracting)?




I think its pretty good. However it depends what structure you're in. Its EXCELLENT if you're going through a recruiter. If there's not middlem-man, you could get a bit more.

Regardless, this is good money in Canada by any standards.

Are you there?

He probably got the job and is working late hours in office hence no time to reply :)

I was told last Friday that the offer would come anytime this week. As of last Friday, they're still waiting for the background check results. I'll keep you guys posted. =)
