It absolutely is, especially by US standards. As an anecdata, I'm a director of engineering and my base salary is ~205k CAD. At my company (based in Toronto, Canada), we have budgeted between 130k-160k CAD base + bonuses for engineering roles (depending on the experience, position, etc). Yet I consider these salaries to be pretty subpar compared to our US counterparts. Folks, demand a fair wage. When a house costs 1.3M , it's unreasonable to get paid peanuts.
