    Hey all,

    Just wondering what kind of salary expectations we should have? Junior position in IT. Or even what rate of pay we can deem as "acceptable"

    I had some chats with them, looked like they would have been great to work for but I needed an LMO in a hurry

    Not to worry!
    I am currently working on getting a VC solution into my company so will be dealing with lots of Vendors, I could have had a word.
    I do have a contact who recruits for that side of Canada.
    She may be able to help.
    What kind of work are you looking for?

    Anything in IT really. I'm willing to work from the ground up. Have loads of helpdesk experience and phone, customer service experience too. Eager to learn too. Any advice or help you could give would be amazing
