      I lived there for 18 years, my kids were born there, we had a group of friends, schools were good, the house was affordable, traffic was minimal. There are all sorts of summer camps for kids, Grand Bend is a 90-minute drive, Toronto is a 1-hour drive, there is Chicopee for skiing. The weather is the same as Toronto (bad). In Toronto you do have a lot better restaurant scene, but the KW area is getting better.

    Can your share your TC for both offers?

    To answer your question, negotiate Uber to match google and move to Toronto. From what I heard from my professional group, Toronto is the place to be in late 20s and early 30s.

    Another personal opinion - buy a condo or house in Toronto if you can afford.

  • Congrats OP. I also had a google waterloo offer but I turned it down. Im guessing L4 if swe? You should try to push 250k+. I got offered 310k first year (had fb e5 as leverage).

  • If you’re single, Toronto >>>>> Waterloo despite the ridiculous COL. Saving $$$$s should not be the #1 priority when you’re young and single.
    Would be good if you could work fully remotely for G in Toronto (or be in office at most once a week or so), but if not then I’d pick Uber.

    KW is sad and depressing AF.
