Can’t speak for the OP but it’s often about what’s most valuable at different points in life. Depending on where you are in the US, having kids can be a formidable experience. Poor leave, expensive childcare, etc etc. It can change the calculation for whether the extra money in the US is actually worth it.
- varun_ch 5mo agoThat’s fair. I can see a lot of reasons to stay in Canada over the US for long term plans. Although it feels like all of the desirable jobs (in terms of technical interestingness and pay) are in the US. At least for internships.
- computomatic 5mo agoAnd to simplify, there’s also really only two reasons to move: 1) more interesting work opportunities; and 2) more money And the delta on (1) has never been smaller thanks to remote work post-covid (even after all the RTO). So basically, at some point, you start asking if the extra money is worth it. (Depending where you come from in Canada, lifestyle in SF might be better overall - but then you can just move back to somewhere else in Canada and have it all.)
