I'll bite. While it is true that there are less companies you would expect would pay Bay Area size salaries, things have changed in Canada. potatolicious told me to write this for the public good. I work for Mozilla. New grads, admittedly with co-op experience, get paid at least 90k+ with the same 30% bonus as all Mozilla employees, putting them in the 6-digit range mentioned in the thread. Amazon recently opened an engineering office in Toronto, and Zynga has been here for a while, Google is in Kitchener, 1 hour away from Toronto. A friend running a startup was complaining about the war for talent going on and was willing to pay salaries well in the NYC/Bay area range. Food for thought? While its true that employees tend to be less promiscuous as they can be in the peninsula, it is not true that developers do not have interesting work to do in Canada or that they won't be well paid. While Mozilla has offices in Vancouver, I do not know enough about the city to talk about the situation there. edit: missed part of a sentence. oops
