> "we're a satellite office town at best" This, sadly, describes almost all of Canada, not just Victoria. Even vaunted Toronto has few homegrown software companies and an ocean of satellite offices of American corporations. As an expat I frequently wonder how I'll ever go home. Doing so not only means taking an enormous pay cut (>50% at this point) but also giving up my front-row seat in the industry. My ego can deal with the different paycheque, but my passions will never square with the rest.
