All 12 hour shifts. Sundays are time and half and any OT on your days off is double time. Bonus every 5 years. Pension plan and full benefits. Tons of vacation, paid sick days and family days. Tools provided by the company. Heavily funded schools and sports programs. Company is willing to give me 20k towards a downpayment on a home because of the welding tickets I have. The list goes on and on. <\/p>\n<p>The cons are it\u2019s in Labrador, 560kms from any other town other than the 3 small towns in \u201cLab West\u201d. It\u2019s cold, like really really cold. -40 cold. I\u2019m assuming things are expensive but I\u2019m told it\u2019s not that bad because the mine subsides the shipping costs for grocery stores and stuff like that. <\/p>\n<p>After slumming it in BC and now NS. I\u2019m thinking this might be the best way to get out of debt and build a little nest egg over 10 years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/norththrowaway22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/norththrowaway22 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/rm58vb\/would_you_move_to_labrador_for_50hr_84_hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/rm58vb\/would_you_move_to_labrador_for_50hr_84_hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a bunch of mines in Labrador, I just got a phone call offering me a full time job at IOCC.
