Amzn Seattle to Amzn Vancouver

Planning to move from Seattle to Vancouver (Amazon internal transfer). What are the major pros and cons? e.g higher cost on living, higher taxes, lower TC etc. DINK couple. Both moving.

Pros Less pressure, easy to get PR Cons Less CTC (~30% cut from Seattle CTC), and high cost of living

hmm...with higher cost of living and lower salary, how much net difference (%) it'll be? Also, what about internal opportunities there?

TC is surely less, but less pressure is not guaranteed

Any other major concern for Vancouver like weather etc?

ROFL the more you make up there the higher your taxes will be. Also you think Seattle real estate sucks? Vancouver is like 2x higher while making even Less TC with higher taxes.... Source: I lived in Canada, all my peers who didn't move stateside still live with their parents
