Vancouver and Calgary Legal Markets

Hi everyone, I’ve done quite a bit of research but haven’t come across much first-hand comparison yet. Is anyone here who has practiced in BOTH Vancouver and Calgary willing to share your experience in each city and how they compare?

I’m mostly interested in corporate/commercial law, IP, and a bit of estates work. I’m currently articling at a regional big firm but am considering a move within the next year or so.

I’d really appreciate any insights on what it’s like living and working in both cities, particularly in terms of commute, lifestyle, firm culture, and compensation.

Looking for biglaw gigs, but also consider running my own thing down the road. Ty in advance!
