Looking up average software engineer salaries in Vancouver BC gets you numbers between 70 and 100k CAD.
That's about what I was making in a medium (~100k) midwestern city over a decade ago and less than the average software developer there makes now.
I'm pretty surprised by how big of a difference it is honestly. Even companies like Amazon and Microsoft in Vancouver were only averaging 100k CAD salaries. (Stock helps, but that would be an extremely low salary just a few hours away in Seattle)
- laurencerowe 6y agoPicking MI to stand for the midwest, the median wage for a Software Developer, Applications there is $89,460 vs a US median of $107,510 and CA median of $130,440. https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/15-1132.00?st=MI&g=Go https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/15-1132.00?st=MI&... There's a much greater spread of wages in the US than in other comparable countries, so it's attractive for those of us towards the higher end of the scale. Coming from the UK though I do miss the feeling of freedom from being able to take a long break between jobs and not having to worry about healthcare.
