200k canadian? That's a small army. You could take over all of westeros with any army of that size.

Where?

Amazon asdf143 OP Nov 15, 2018

Toronto or Calgary.

Amazon asdf143 OP Nov 15, 2018

Either place

200k Canadian mean 8000 a month before RRSP (Canadian 401K). You will be barely able to afford a 500k house.

Is it not good?

200K/12 = 16.7K not 8K.

Factor in crippling Canadian taxes

Amazon asdf143 OP Nov 15, 2018

What are you trying to say man? Help me out here.

Nordstrom Nordee Nov 15, 2018

In BC on 200k you’re going to be paying 70k in taxes. Plus sales and other taxes (12% in Vancouver or a little less in Toronto, etc. oh yeah Quebec is 15%)

It's bad.

How did you get an offer without being able to do basic research

Location in Canada ?

You may pay a bit more tax (do your research on how much more comparing to US), but you get free Medicare for life; much better WLB (not so many folks work overtime in Canada, which is more like an European country in that sense), as well as much nicer and friendly people. Of course, you can also get permanent residence quickly, if that is of interest.

Canada is worth it, not sure about the company.
