With a very similar looking distribution.
If you cherry pick your data by focussing on just the ones who go to Amazon (use software development engineer there) you get closer to $115 - $150k
And it's USD. Almost double the Canadian.
But it's also one of the hardest interviews in the industry.
I think you'll find the data shows roughly pairity if you discount the exchange rate.
On the other hand ... $100k USD is still a bump. But they also often need to pay their own medical insurance.
Best deal is remote work for a US company paid in USD and living in glorious maple syrup soaked Cannuckistan.
- kohanz 11y ago> And it's USD. Almost double the Canadian. Tongue in cheek? Or you consider 1.31x as "almost double"?
- alexc05 11y agoNot at all. The calculation was based on $150k (high end Amazon) multiplied by 1.3 which at $195k comes out to "almost double" a Canadian $100k. It's a full on stretch of cherry pick-ery but it isn't tounge in cheek. The basic conclusion that they're actually pretty close is the impression I meant to leave behind. But I can see how my comment may have been poorly communicated.
- stuxnet79 11y agoHow easy is it to acquire remote work? What are some sites I can go to to look for open positions?
