I've been living and working in Toronto since 2003, and can attest that it truly is a fantastic city to live in.
Most of the senior developers I know in Toronto work as independent contractors for large enterprises because they can get paid significantly more than the base salaries mentioned here. Contractor rates rival Silicon Valley salaries.
The downside of independent contracting is that you forgo sick pay, holiday pay, and employee-sponsored perks like extended health care. However, Ontario has an excellent public health system that covers all residents so the need for additional health benefits is questionable.
- qcpydev 8y agoHi, I'm a contractor in Québec City work as a Business analyst. Can you tell me what is the hourly rate in Toronto ? And how do you find your clients ? It's my first year of working as a contractor. Thanks.
- apercu 8y agoDepends on your experience/expertise. I typically see vast ranges with more junior people charging $50/hr, intermediates at $80/hr, and seniors (people with decades of business experience) between $100-180/hr. I sub out work now and then, I'll add an email address to my profile. I'd like to know your skill sets.
- qcpydev 8y agoOh thanks for your reply. Here in Québec city consulting companies charge 70-75 for gov contracting, and in insurances companies you can get 80-100 per hour. Yes add your e-mail adress, we can take the discussion further :)
- apercu 8y agoDone.
