I was seriously considering moving to Vancouver from Calgary. It is really hard to find talented, passionate people in Calgary. But even ignoring the lower wages in Vancouver, the cost of housing is a bad joke.
My long term plan now is to move to Toronto. Plenty of flourishing tech communities. Industries where technology is a differentiator (Calgary is all cost centre). It is the small things that make a difference. I would love to spend an evening learning something from my peers, rather than presenting beginner level content because most of the audience is stuck using pre-approved MS technologies.
