This accurately describes the situation.
Even if you land a higher paying job in Vancouver your salary is probably around 80% of what you would get in Seattle and you are paid in $CAD vs. $USD.
- lewisl9029 11y ago80% is a bit too generous based on my experience. I'd be happy with 80% of market salary in Seattle if it means I could work in Vancouver. The reality is actually closer to 50% like the OP mentioned, even before taking into account exchange rates: https://angel.co/salaries https://angel.co/salaries From the perspective of someone who wants to stay in Vancouver, this is just sad.
- djmips 11y agoAgreed, and one of the factors is tax which is lower in the US.
