Pay here in Vancouver is definitely below the bay area or Seattle. As for doing exciting things, I guess that depends what you find exciting. Several big tech companies have decent sized offices here, Microsoft and Amazon being the most visible examples. There's a lot of games companies, EA being by far the biggest but there are numerous smaller studios. There's quite a few tiny AR / VR startups but they're mostly operating on shoestring budgets. There's quite a few people like me working remote with US companies which can be a good option if you can get it.
If AR / VR is something that interests you, come to one of the events at the Cube and you'll be able to meet some of the companies in that space.
- moonshinefe 8y agoAre there any sites or resources in particular you used to find remote US tech jobs? I'm looking for something new but as this thread points to, the pay here in BC is pretty bad relative to the cost of living--remote would be great.
- mattnewport 8y agoWell in my case I co-founded the company I work for so I didn't use a traditional remote jobs site. I did originally connect with my co-founder online though, through the Oculus forums (we do VR development). I know of other people who work remote in Vancouver but I don't know how they found the jobs in most cases I'm afraid.
- hluska 8y agoweworkremotely.com is a good resource.
