Been in US for 4 years, had lots of fun but thinking about moving back to Vancouver. Life is lonely here..all my friends, family etc. lives in Vancouver. I have a sizeable nest egg of $1.2M. I have green card but need another 2 years before I am eligible for passport but don't see benefit of US passport. Anyone else plans to move back outside US?
Seattle?
I am in MPK, Bay Area
That’s a good egg. If you are young, I would go back. Life goes too quick for losing those relationships. You’ll have more money, but you will feel more empty. Besides, I always hear Vancouver has solid eng opportunities
1.2M over four years? Wow! That's insane. My 4th year end nest egg would probably be 250k CAD lol.
FB stock + solid career growth. I joined as E5 and now E6
Ahh, I see, that makes sense. For a new grad E3 this would be from some really smart/lucky investment decisions lol. This is some good inspiration buddy!
Move to Seattle, Vancouver is 2.30hr drive from here. Also Seattle has a lot of Canadians. You can keep your fb job as well as people
Could you move to Seattle? Vancouver is very close and you can still make good TC.
Have you thought about what the implication of if you want to move back to US again? For example, if you go back to Vancouver for x years and want to move back, how will your GC get affected? (I don't have the answer, but I'm actually in similar-ish situation with committing to GC while being on the fence moving back home to Toronto)
Just get that passport and then leave.
But then OP has to start paying US taxes from his Canadian income right? Or that there’s a trick for evading that too 😳
Canadian tax is higher than US tax, so no.
Try finding something in SF first. Single on the peninsula is no fun. Everyone looks at home though rose colored glasses.
How did you make friends here? Im in Seattle and also from Vancouver. Im very lonely here
It’s tough, but there’s a bunch of others like you.
