What happens when most of your team is Indian?
A long time ago, when Canada is an unknown place to US, their compensation pay π₯ due to lacking demand. Since 2020, for "some" reasons, all US companies start moving up to Canada and aggressively hiring people in American style (American TC, American perk, American work life balance, etc), as if Canada TC has went through a major overhaul and upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 Therefore, if you freakout why Software Engineer in Canada paid a lot now. Don't be, it's just Canada TC 2.0 TC: Just upgraded to π¨π¦ 2.0 #tc #gtfo #okileave #nolotteryneededincanada #h1bisnotneeded #LMIA #ignorecanadacompanytheypaidpeanut #lmiaiseasytofill
Itβs still low with federal + California level taxes
From my opinion, such movement will be continued throughout the time. Remote work is entirely possible as long as it's in the same timezone (West coast, Central and East coast). Also, despite Canada compensation is higher than ever, the labour cost is still low from the US perspective. With these two major factors they thus should have no hesitation continue "outsourcing" toward the north.
Which is good news! Canada is culturally closest to US, so it gives US SWEs another location to consider! If they are fine with cold!
Look at my company. Do people not live in Chicago during winter?
Justin, is that you?
Arenβt you Bill, Tim here
Tim Hortons? π
Is it still Saturday in Canada? You guys just copy US
Yes, we copy and paste the timezone too
Yes that is happening but the TC is still not the same as US nor is there the same sort of mobility as in the US which I think is important given the way companies hire amd fire now.
US companies coming to Canada are just getting a better deal by being able to pay a lot less. Imagine using their American dollar and paying for talent using cheaper Canadian dollars.
Exactly as my opinion they thus will perpetuate such behavior
Yes, but they are coming. Thus as a good candidate, you got much more choices that you had 2+ years ago, and more competition for your talent too. So if this continues, things will be getting closer and closer.
