I worked in Vancouver at a well-regarded company making under $100k CAD ($70k USD). I shopped around the job market there and didn't find anyone willing to pay over $110k. Everyone I talked to seemed to think my salary was competitive. I expanded my search to Seattle (2 hours' drive south of Vancouver) and received multiple offers over $200k USD. I'm making over three times as much as I could have in Vancouver. And my taxes are significantly lower. That said, I wouldn't mind moving back to Vancouver someday. Curious who is paying $200k in Vancouver, and also whether you are at the high-senior level that would net $400k+ at e.g. Google in the US. Interesting that we apparently saw two very different sides of the job market in Vancouver. Thanks for your perspective.
