What company if you don't mind me asking. The pay is definitely above par for Toronto. I think only a handful of companies pay that to New Grads.

Definitely above average offer for Toronto. If you have time and want to interview around more, there are some companies that would pay more. Good offer overall though!

Is Toronto COL expensive?

Yup it’s high here, not as high as Vancouver but it’s about $1800-2300 for a decent 1BR condo downtown. Transit is also shit here

The office location is pretty inconvenient to access via transit. As far as local Toronto tech companies go, their compensation is pretty competitive.

Hey, any chance you can share what a new grad offer from Elastic looks like?

Elastic is distributed by intention, and AFAIK there is no new grad intake, only experienced hires
