There are over 1000 engineers in Amazon's Toronto office. Every one of us knows we could make a huge increase in total comp by moving to the USA. Amazon would even help us make the move, relocation support, everything.
I know ~3 people who've done so after 7 years here. We just like it better here, money be damned.
