- cakebrewery 9y agoIt varies greatly here in Victoria. I've seen Jr. positions anywhere form 30k to 80k. I've also seen senior positions as low as 50k. Java seniors earn around 115k. People from Vancouver say it's worse there... Keep in mind the Canadian dollar is significantly lower than USD right now, 100k doesn't get far at all.
- twiceaday 9y agoFive years ago I graduated from Waterloo and went to a startup in Vancouver for a year as a full stack dev at 80k CAD. I then went to the bay area where my initial (junior) offer was 135k USD. I don't like the area but I'm not moving until I've earned enough to live off of my investments.
