Canadian tech scene is not bad given the small population and relatively recent investments in this area. That is, compared to EU where there's pretty much no tech other than Spotify, and any promising upstarts are getting preemptively destroyed by EU and local governments.
It takes decades to build Silicon Valley, and Canada's focus on foreign talent, business friendly regulation, and general North American enterprising culture might get it there over time.
- trilila 7y agoIn the EU, London, Uk a nodejs developer earns around 800 cad per day as a consultant, and there so many jobs that usually you find a new one in 1-2 days max a week. Tho much lower, Germany is also a good tech market. I am not sure what your statement is based on. When i assessed moving to Canada from the uk, not only were there far less companies but tech was a bit out date as well and pay was way way lower. Care to support your statement with evidence? Edit: you can find eu jobs on cwjobs.co.uk and stepstone.de to get an idea of how large the gap between canada and the eu is.
