The TTC currently has a ton of job openings for positions that pay over $100k
The Toronto lifestyle is getting ever more difficult to enjoy affordably, especially amid inflation when the cost of absolutely everything is on the rise.
There's nothing like a global pandemic and recession to make someone consider a big career change, and the city has no shortage of job opportunities, whether you're looking to move into the booming tech sector, to work for a proudly Canadian company or something else.
If you're looking for a well-compensated job downtown, the city's transit commission is one solid employer that's hiring for a ton of positions in many different areas right now, some of them paying upwards of $100,000 per year.
Here are a few from the dozens of current openings:
This role, which pays up to $98,280, involves working with various suppliers to ensure that new TTC projects and repairs come to fruition properly and on time. Suitable for someone with a degree or diploma in business, commerce, finance or engineering, and/or a relevant work background.
