I find it's pretty difficult to get into industry directly from public practice in Vancouver. You need a lead time of about 6-9 months to land something good. All the recruiters I've spoken to say the economy is pretty shit right now and there is an abundance of CAs. Pretty much everyone is designated these days. I'd say about 40% of the peers in my year went to either New York or San Fran.

Been like that for years. Vancouver is a joke for good jobs.
Recruiters are also the biggest slim bags around, don't trust a word they say, and be thankful u enjoy ur job/have ur job!
Congrats, just make sure u don't get in a rut (can happen once u switch to industry, there aren't the regular promotions as there are in public practise)
