NYC to Toronto Transfer
I work at a big 5 Canadian Bank in their NYC office and will be moving to Toronto in the coming weeks. Any advice on the move?

Why?
As someone who lives in Toronto, the city is great for raising children and just generally living, but I don't think it's nearly as fun as other big metro areas in the US as far as fun goes in your 20s. Not as many fun things to do, not as many weekend trip possibilities, poor transit system, etc. That being said, I'd try to live walking distance from work to minimize commute for at least the first year, and spend your free time getting to know the different neigbourhoods of the city, the restaurant scene, etc.
As someone who made opposite move, curious to know what your motivation is?
Some people like Canada. I do personally. There are some benefits to living in Canada, though they have their trade-offs.
yeah, I like Canada plenty. for me it feels like you sacrifice a lot for this career so makes sense to live where it can achieve the highest trajectory but certainly could see myself moving back to Canada one day (like closer to retirement).
Hard to give specifics with little background on you, but I would say explore beyond the downtown. Toronto is sprawling and you can find lots beyond the core and even an hour or two drive.
My biggest gripe is the complete lack of elevation. Skiing in Ontario is a joke.
