You might want to consider getting some industry experience and then moving to a technical BA role where you help define requirements without touching code. You can easily get paid similar amounts if not more if you bring industry experience. |
Keep in mind not all companies in Vancouver pays the same as well. From what I've been seeing, currently in Vancouver right now, there are really 2 tech markets. The canadian tech companies and large corporate companies (hootsuite, shopify, etc), and there are the SF startups/ medium size companies that can't compete down in the Bay Area but willing to pay here in Vancouver (Asana, Grammarly, Brex). Fyi, Facebook and Apple is also currently here in Vancouver as well and been here for a while. They have been using their Vancouver office as a holding office for Visas etc. |

It's a lot like the interviewing process as an interviewer or interviewee. Sometimes, the interviewee is just there to practice their interviewing skills, or they are really only considering the opportunity at the company as a plan B or C. |
this ^^..as a buyer as long as its close to your criteria you really should take a look at it...its like test driving different cars to get a feel of what you like |

Vancouver doesn't have much roots for SW developers for fin-tech or accounting/finance software. The two larger ones Blackline and Galvanize, has a significant pay discrepancy between staff based in Vancouver and Toronto/US. IOS, python developers is where the big bucks are had... |

However, this buying agent and potential buyer are fucking stupid. You're looking at a 3rd floor condo and your excuse for wasting everyone's time is that "the view sucks" What the fuck kind of view did you expect from a 3rd floor condo :lol It's like my friend that's trying to sell his house right now. Realtor took excellent photos inside and outside to showcase it. One of the people showed up and one of the main complaints was that there were 3 steps leading up to their main door |

When you guys are assessing potential rental properties, how are you determining an approximate rent if it isn't currently rented out? |
bought at the peak in 2016-2017, I'm looking to sell now to upsize to a 2bdr or townhouse should I bite the bullet and take a haircut ($30-50k)? or wait a bit closer to summer? thing is, if the market moves up say 5-10%, it translates into a much relative larger move on the buying / purchase side for the new upsized place (10% on +1mil compared to condo) |
^ ??? If you're buying into the same general area, whatever you're wanting to buy will also drop and rise with the same market... so waiting for your place to go up so you can afford more is a but of a misnomer... the place you want to buy will also go up. |
16 17 wasn't the peak. Also the prices are relative, yours goes up, the next place will go up in value too. And it's gonna be harder to chase upwards. As they are in higher demand than 1 bed unit right now. There's no such thing as sell high buy low. Only buy higher. Just like all the people that chickened out on their stocks in March, and "I'll buy it back when the markets has recovered after Coronas" well look what happened now. |

even if you gain 10% on the condo and the th market only moves up 5% this summer, there would be almost no difference because of the price difference between the two. |

Every house I watch on eassessment was worth between 150-400k more in 2017 |
Every property that I've seen take a hit when sold recently were purchased in 17/18 as well to further add to that argument. |
I think the official peak was 18 based on what I've seen. But yea any gains on your 1 bed won't be enough to catch up. Ie 10% on $500k = $50k but if you're trying to get into $1m even a 8% increase will be $80k you won't be able to catch up. I think the demand for one bed is still soft cuz soft rental, no students or new immigrants. Ppl who are in the market for the cheapest units are probably cerb recipients with reduced incomes. |

Just tested Joyce Collingwood area for $1,900/1BR and had over 40 - 50 inquiries. I felt like they were higher risk tenants and maybe 2 - 3 solid applications from couples with good-paying jobs. |
