Hey there.
I live in Toronto and throw the subtrac dubstep events here.
Places to live:
I just moved into the Junction, it's in the west end of the city but down town is quite accessible from there.
Rent is cheep and the majority of the residents in the area are artists so it has a cool atmosphere to it.
Another area you might want to look into is Parkdale, also in the west end it was populated with crack heads and insane people for about 20 years.
However, over the last few years it's cleaned up a bit and is now known as a fairly cheep "hip" place to live (just don’t look on Jamison Ave).
Pretty much anywhere downtown is VERY expensive to live, best to look out of the downtown core.
The east end is quite residential and cheep but not as close to the action as the west.
As appealing as it may be I'd also recommend to not looking in an area called the Annex.
The apartments are nice and there are plenty of young people there due to UofT being close by but unless you’re living in university residence the prices for rent are outrageous.
Music wise there's lots to chose from, subtrac events happen about once a month, techno wise bmr and a club called footwork do a lot of dope minimal stuff.
A good first stop would be
www.tribemagazine.com to learn about upcoming events.
Work wise, media sales in Toronto is a heavily saturated market so I wish you luck in finding work.
However the sales force here in general is starving for sales people and it's quite easy to get a job in corporate world as most major conglomerates have satellite offices here.
Definitely look at workoplis.ca, monster.com and craigs list for job postings in sales.
Almost every time I'm on there some biotech or software company is looking for reps.
