You say that, and it's probably true on average, but I'm making 33% above the average salary for my province. Granted, I don't live in one of the "big" provinces and competition for tech jobs is not as high as it would be in hotspots like Vancouver/Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal.
Granted, I'm making less than an equivalent job in one of the big tech hubs in Canada, but the cost of living is a fraction of what it is in the bigger cities as well.
- gesman 8y agoI lived in Ottawa for a long time and worked in Montreal before finally moving to SV. The pay in Ottawa/Montreal is a disgrace compare to USA/SV.
- EvenThisAcronym 8y agoI'm not disputing that, just providing a data point that you can still live in Canada and work as a dev for good pay and a low cost of living. I could move to the US and make twice my current salary, but that comes with its own drawbacks.
