Not really. If you go after top people from good universities (Waterloo, UBC), it's still 80-85k in Vancouver. Less than in Silicon Valley but not by much.

- edwinnathaniel 13y agoI highly doubt that. Even BBY during their glory days are willing to pay 64k for fresh grad with co-ops experience. Microsoft paid 80k for ugrad back in 2008 in Redmond. I would love to know which companies in the Vancouver that are willing to pay that much for mostly raw talent. PS: I dealt with mostly UBC co-op and I know UBC CS curriculum rather well and 85k is too much.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoWhy would you mention UWa and UBC and not...U Toronto, which is actually internationally ranked in computer science?
- MAGZine 13y agoThere are a whole array of credible Universities in Canada when it comes to cpsc, I don't think he was being selective, just what came to mind. Those are the first ones that come to mind for me
- edwinnathaniel 13y agoNot to diminish UT reputation but both UWa and UBC ranked the highest among Canadian universities when it comes to the annual ACM competitions.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoYou mean ACM programming competitions. I believe Shanghai Jiaotong university often comes out #1 in those competitions, and no one is claiming that they are at the top of the computer science program rankings.
