I bet the OP can make loads more money in VFX than going back and doing some junior programming role, hence I'm with him.

I would question the word "loads" ;] Sups are usually earning around 150-200 CAD p/y, seniors 100-130. I may be wrong with the numbers though.

Over time with investment in self, the money would outstrip vfx, even if the first job only matched it. If you like development, do some projects!
