I\u2019m making 65k\/yr salary right now but no bonus. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve agreed to pay my moving costs (I don\u2019t own a home so I don\u2019t have that much to move) and they offered me a company car for business and personal use so I don\u2019t have to drive mine over.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest worry about moving to BC is the cost of housing. From my research everything else is cheaper than NB but right now I\u2019m paying $1500 plus utilities for a 2\/1 in NB, similar apartments are $2200+ in Abbotsford. <\/p>\n<p>Is there anything else I should ask for? I feel like I\u2019m in a pretty good position, I work in a really niche field and although the pay isn\u2019t overly high it is in heavy demand right now and a lot of people I know in the industry are being poached right now. <\/p>\n<p>Should I ask them for some sort of rental allowance monthly? Or ask them to cover my first month + deposit? <\/p>\n<p>I have a phone call with them today at 2pm my time to finalize and accept the offer and I\u2019m getting pretty nervous. I want to make sure I get the most out of this offer and spend a couple years enjoying BC comfortably.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Coolslice1320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/Coolslice1320 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/vltm1k\/job_offer_in_a_high_col_living_area_what_what_i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#32; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/vltm1k\/job_offer_in_a_high_col_living_area_what_what_i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a Abbotsford BC based company reach out to me and offer me a job via linkedin.
