I'm deciding between leaving my current position at a small company (~100 people) to GHD (~10k people). The pay bump is very small (92k currently, to 100k). Basically a horizontal move - asset management consultant now to senior advisor asset management, which have similar responsibilities.

GHD seems attractive because I will have more variety variety of projects. Currently, I only work for the municipal sector, whereas with GHD I will work with utilities and other. Also, based on the interview, it sounds like more training opportunities at GHD and a larger team to work with to bounce off ideas.

There just doesn't seem to be any room to advance where I'm at now. I'm hoping a large company

Im looking for an affordable gym with decent weight equipment and basic services. I plan to workout with weights only, and don't care for fancy cardio equipment, group classes, or other services. Any reccomendations?

Bonus if its near Appleby and QEW (where I work)

edit: I would like squat racks and racks with benches. Ideally would like to spend under $60

Hey,

I'm new to the City, don't really have any friends yet or know the area well. Are there any events tonight that a single person can go by themself and not feel awkward? I was thinking live music, shows, boardgames, iconic things to see.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Our Burlington work group is looking for a nice place to host our Christmas party. We would like to book a private room for approx. 15 people. Must be licensed, and ideally a nice sitting for a group. Likelly will be eating and a few drinks.

Any ideas?

I will be moving to this great City of yours next week. Are there any places in Hamilton (or nearby) that have regular salsa dance nights?

Thanks

I will be moving to Hamilton in December, and am wondering what areas I should look in to. I've looked at guides online, but they are all focused to people with families and looking to buy a house. I will be living by myself, and looking to rent an apartment. Some things I am looking for:

• clean neighborhood with good people
• close to amenities, an area that I walk (or quick drive) to cafes, pubs, restaurants and the like
• is walkable. I like going for walks in the evenings
• has culture and festivals

Thanks!

Hi again everyone. I posted earlier about moving out to this area, will be moving out here in December. I was wondering if there are any kind of social scenes out here for young adults (20-40). Back home I do salsa and swing dancing, any such thing in Burlington? Any other cool activities or meetups?

Hi Everyone,

​

I will be moving to Ontario in December for a job. My office is located right in the city of Burlington, and I'm trying to decide where would be the best place to live. I've already talked to folks in r/BurlingtonON, and would like to see what folks at r/Hamilton have to say. The tradeoff between living in Burlington vs. Hamilton as I see it:

​

Burlington: closer to work (much shorter commute), cleaner, safer, quieter, nice Waterfront area

Hamilton: cheaper rent/housing, bigger city (more to do, more clubs/activities), good food scene, younger people

​

I'm curious if people here have thought about similar things when moving over, and wha

I've recently accepted a job offer for something in Burlington, starting in December this year. I was hoping you guys could answer some of my questions, and perhaps give me a sense of what it's like to live here (or in the GTA in general). I come all the way from Regina, SK- so Burlington, ON will be quite the change:

• Owning/Leasing a car: Is this necessary? My job does not require me to have a car, but I'm wondering if it is recommended for getting around. I'm not sure the lay out of the city, or the efficiency of public transport. Is it worth it to have a car?
• Neighborhoods: Anything I should avoid? Any slums? Any places that are especially dirty or smell bad? Any places that are clos
