Vancouverite also here. I am happy to see regular salary listings at much higher than they used to be, and if this is the reason, that's cool with me! I believe Microsoft and Amazon are opening huge secondary locations here soon.
- pitterpatter 7y agoMicrosoft has long since had offices in Vancouver. It's only a few hours drive from headquarters down in Redmond. And another choice for employees that lose the H1B lottery.
- brailsafe 7y agoThey are opening new offices in Van alongside their existing ones.
- ripley12 7y agoThis is a strange comment to read as a Vancouverite. Amazon’s has thousands of employees for years now, they had 600 jobs open last I checked. Microsoft’s main downtown office has one of the most prominent locations in the city, plus a huge sign. Those huge secondary locations are already here.
- brailsafe 7y agoI meant secondary to the offices that you mentioned. So two main Vancouver offices and two Amazon Vancouver offices total.
- ripley12 7y agoAh. Amazon has had multiple offices downtown for a long time, and Microsoft has 2 large ones (the City Centre one and the Yaletown one near BC Place). But yes, they are still expanding.
- brailsafe 7y agoI'm not too familiar with that, but I'm thinking in particular of Microsoft's new Mt. Pleasant office (I think) and the Amazon office going into the old Canada Post building at a large scale.
