I am a Canadian tech worker clearing about C$400k/yr total comp as a Staff Eng. I pay $5k for my mortgage.
Taxed once. I work for a SF company that has set up a Canadian arm of the business.
Despite all that, it’s a bargain compared to Bay Area pay.
- avtar 3y agoSafe to say your salary is an anomaly in the Canadian tech landscape.
- bawolff 3y agoAs a staff eng? That is a fairly high rank. Doesn't sound that crazy.
- avtar 3y agoOthers can comment with their experience but my guess was informed by recent job searches and forums, albeit not for this title. Doing a search right now for a Staff Engineer in Toronto seems to hint at 180 - 200K CAD being the upper limit.
- ChumpGPT 3y agoYou are an outlier and only because you work for an American Company that pays you what they might pay locally in SF. Perhaps they don't know they could pay you 1/2 of that easily.... On a tangent what are you're taxes like, 52%?
- LASR 3y ago53.5% is the marginal rate. All cap gains are at the same rate. Net out, about 38% overall.
