I love cars.. so I went where the money was in order to afford my taste in cars. You win some, you lose some.. :)

Wow, were you part of a consulting firm? did they find you the placements?

Waze does distribute redirected traffic if there are other alternatives. I've seen it first hand on the 401 in Toronto; an accident occurred, I was routed one way to clear it and the person beside me had Waze went another way.. 20km later.. we are both back on the 401! Same car, same person, both using Waze.

no offset for the triangle, not too bad

I left my previous employer for a 6 month contract at ~50% increase in salary for the contracted period. If it was a 3 month contract, I would have declined.

I agree.. especially if the candidate is just looking for an "upgrade". Personally I left a very stable telco job for a 6 month contract with high chance of renewal or offered FT. The thing that made me say yes was the contract rate was ~50% more compensation than my previous job and I had contacts there. If it was anything less, I wouldn't have left.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you deal with the sweat? Do you shower on arrival?

I would love to bike, but no showers at my current workplace :/

Yep.. my Bose QC35's are amazing!

wow that's awesome. In Canada, I haven't seen the rates that high for Canadian companies.. I guess I am not looking hard enough!

for these rates, how long would the contract be?

I agree 100%

Tried this a few months back.. didn't work :(

The major telco I work for (starts with a B in Canada), people in my group complained when they got a $300 raise and said they would rather not have got it.. so they cut the raises for the 3 years straight due to this "comment". Funny thing, that person would be ahead by ~1k a year at the base salary. Fortunately I am part of a different compensation package. I would always take any money, that 300 is ~180ish after tax, enough for 2 months of parking..
