Wow. When I started 20+ years ago in Toronto I made $30k. I can't believe that starting salaries are that low today. Within 3 years I was making > 50k but that's because I didn't know how to negotiate salaries. And a year later, I moved to Silicon Valley and my salary tripled (but my rent quintupled).
Starting salaries today at most silicon valley companies are ~100k or more.
- torontodevs 10y agoWell the Toronto housing market is pretty bad... Too expensive for me right now. Currently living in a decent apartment though and it's not bad. I'm sure the California market is worse though!
- guiomie 10y agoRent is around twice as high, but your salary will also big twice bigger, or more. If all you care about is money, then California is a no brainer.
