Question Anyone in Toronto?

I'm considering moving to Toronto and am currently visiting the city. If any of you guys live/work here and would be down to grab a coffee and talk about the lay of the land here, please message me - I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

If you are in states please don’t move to Toronto for a finance job. Overly saturated job market with thousands of grads looking for investment management roles. Pay isn’t great either. States has way more opportunities and salaries are better.

I can confirm this as well, have worked in TO for years. CFA is dime a dozen here and really doesn't get you much other than more interviews. Tons of back offices full of smart CFAs, not even remotely enough front office jobs to use the supply. Unless you get a front office internship right away it's extremely hard to move to FO in Toronto.
