I’m looking to raise my TC closer to US TC without moving out of Canada. What ammo or tactics can I use, or is it totally hopeless? I have various low leverage arguments about my value to the company (esp compared to my US teammates, whom I lead). For higher leverage I was thinking of getting offers for remote positions that pay higher TC (easy to find on HN Who’s Hiring job descriptions that advertise higher TC than I am at) What else is viable that I am not thinking of? My TC is good for the area but I am leaving tons of money on the table by not moving to the US.
That is the dream. Earning Bay Area/Seattle wages outside USA. Let us know if it works
Yes you can negotiate if you are Linus Torvalds
Tc and yoe now?
11 yoe and about 240k cad
That's actually pretty good
Unless you move to director/VP level, not going to happen.
Do you think wlb in Canada is better than bay area/seattle that to some degree justify the salary difference?
WLB no as that would be company specific not location specific
Not possible without moving to US.
