Bang on! At least if you made a reasonable wage it would be worth it, but everyone in Vancouver, including NHL superstars like the (Sedin) twins take a pay cut because they claim to love the opportunity to stay there. Every Vancouver employer I ever had gave me that line. &quot;Sorry we can&#x27;t pay you more, but you know, the rents! This is a great opportunity for you though&quot;. Later I found out that I made about 25-50% more than my colleagues, and I was vastly underpaid. It is a horrible work culture.
