"You don’t have Google and Facebook offering astronomical starting salaries for engineers right out of school"
Except that's a big reason why I left Canada to work in Silicon Valley.
It kinda went like this: "So you'll pay me 2-3 times what I could earn here, the weather is perfect, there's no mosquitos, and I can work on stuff people actually use? Where do I sign?"
- serge2k 14y agoA guy just left where I'm working to move down to the states. Makes around 2.5 times what he did here and gets extra benefits (apparently extra for living expenses and such). I am considering checking out the states. I can always come back to BC later and earning some extra money would be good considering my loans. Job I have now isn't bad, low stress and 8-4 every day. pay is decent. Problem is that if I stayed here the pay would pretty much stay constant. Plus I hate living in northern BC.
