I don't think that's quite true. When I was working for a large/stable/boring company in Calgary, the lowest paid green devs made more than C$56k/year.

- Jtsummers 2y agoAssuming full-time work (40 hour per week, 52 weeks a year with paid leave and holidays), that's about $27/hour CAD or $19/hour USD. If they work more than 40/week then that effective hourly rate drops quickly.
- badc0ffee 2y agoThat's what I mean, I was converting US$20/hour to C$/year and assuming 2000 hours/year. None of these people were paid hourly. I think a starting rate for devs in a software shop is probably closer to C$75k/yr = US$26/hr, at least in this market. Still lower than I expected, but not US$20.
- Jtsummers 2y agoGot it, I misunderstood your earlier comment as putting $56k as a lower bound on starting pay.
