>> Compared to North America, software engineers are paid pittance I'm not certain it's North America as a whole. I'm in Toronto, mostly considered the highest paid city in Canada, and I've long decided to not pay attention to Silicon Valley salaries, lest I get depressed :) Whether you search for developer, software engineer, system administrator, SRE or the like, salaries in California seem positively extravagant to those in Toronto (which also has a very high baseline cost of living). Further, I'm pretty sure Mexico salaries are even further depressed (which is the third country composing "North America" :)
