$170kCAD for an experienced engineer in Toronto is touching the upper ranges, but 5 years ago that number was at $120CAD. You are seeing higher than 170k at some companies and I know of people working remote for SV companies at very good salaries. You’re right about equity, though.
Something happened in the last 2 years in particular that has caused salaries to skyrocket (trump policies taking effect?).
If you have a family, the public schools are generally better in Toronto as well.
- lhorie 7y agoInteresting. How things change. I do recall getting recruiter calls for 150k positions around 3-4 years ago, though mostly for startups. Big tech agencies (e.g. CGI, Klick) haven't really caught up AFAIK. I don't have experience w/ the public school system in Toronto yet, but I can say preschool definitely seemed to be one notch higher in TO than SF. In TO, my kids' school tuition included meals and they did STEM activities. In SF, you need to provide lunch, and curriculum-wise, it feels more like a glorified daycare w/ arts&crafts projects.
- hylaride 7y agoOh, the agencies still pay shit. It's quantity over quality there. It's a similar story in most financial institutions/banks as well.
