Something I didn't know until recently is how much better the wages are for Canadians that work as contractors to large companies/banks that bill to their own companies. I understand that this is probably out of reach to younger folks with no experience but finally realized the appeal of a contractor here.
- jm__87 8y agoYes, if you are okay with forgoing benefits and vacation and know the hiring manager, then you can often double your take home (if they really need you, or you have a special skill set can ask for more obviously). Often contractors are hired through recruiters and I've heard of at least one recruiter taking an additional 50% on top of what was being paid to the contractor, which would result in the salary you can negotiate being much less, so not going through a recruiter makes this easier.
