Also, developers in Toronto (and all of Canada) don't have to worry about affording health insurance if they join a startup instead of some BigCorp, leaving talented engineers free to pursue the companies and causes that interest them rather than just the ones big enough to get insurance at a discount.
- pmchiu 16y agoTrue - but then the developers have to deal with higher taxes as a result of free health care. I also think the effective corporate tax rate is higher too so that can causes issues.
- matdwyer 16y agoWell, hard to compare as it isn't really an easy process for a Canadian to just decide to go work in the USA instead of Canada to avoid the tax. If you're a founder you're likely minimizing your "income" to almost zero to avoid as much tax as you can anyway.
