Many of the devs worth their dime in Vancouver end up remote working when they get to the Sr. level. Get paid in USD, and for 25-30% more in a stronger currency. Works out to almost 60% more?! also if you aren't a city person you can then move to one of the gulf islands.
- lacampbell 9y agoAmerican companies routinely pay remote foreign workers at American rates? I find it a bit hard to believe.
- sergers 9y agoIf they don't have an office in the remote country they do. I know a few vancouverites who live in Vancouver, who are working for Texas based companies, no local office in the country They are paid in USD. When the cdn dollar tanked against usd after being on par, it was like a 30-40% raise for them in cdn just cause of the exchange rate
- r-s 9y agoNo joke. I applied for several jobs in Vancouver and the best salary offer was 110k base (82k USD). Seattle actually seems to have a lower cost of living and salaries approx 2x as high. Its very hard to attract workers when the salaries just cant compare.
