Yes Canada sucks in TC. But I think the bigger problem is the high housing costs where the tech jobs are. I’m impressed with the level of activity here in Canada though. Some companies doing very interesting things
What is the TC at Square Canada?
I guess around 120K
You can get to 100 CAD + level soon if you’re in Toronto
At least you won’t get shot walking to work.
Are you in Canada?
Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. I've been shot twice this week in Seattle and it's only Wednesday!
Wew square TC is fuckin lowball. Unbelievable!!
Er, you know TC includes stock right? That puts square above average on that Canadian list. It’s I believe similar for the US too, should be around 120k for sf/ny, I’d suspect anything lower would be for Atlanta where even 80 is doing great for a fresh grad.
Though TC in some American metros (mainly Sf and NY) seem to be double, you need to factor in the cost of living. You wouldn’t survive on 65k in those areas. I assume you’ll be able to afford a nice one bedroom apartment, not the case in Bay Area on 65k. Also, you guys get better health care. And you probably have less student loans.
No student loan 😜
Right, because Toronto and Vancouver are so cheap and not about the same as Manhattan. /s
That's what you get when you have an open door policy for immigrant tech workers.
I don’t get this line of thinking.... close doors and you’ll see jobs move elsewhere. Why do we deserve more money than someone else just because of where we are/ where we were born?
If the doors are open, supply increases faster than demand. This leads to lower prices. Hence your frustration with TC in Canada. Really really basic economics. I suggest you study it a little. It might help in life.
But you get ‘free’ health care and maple syrup
^^ pretty much everything is better in Canada. Just ask any Canadian 😂
What? I thought 130K is still low...
Which tech you work in Dropbox?
I think TC is the same across engineering, but I was on an infra team.
