I didn't finish school so I don't qualify for h1b or tn. What are my options? Should I just finish school and move to US? Looking at Coinbase, Kraken, Cloudflare, Brex, or Meta but I also don't want to work with a trash stack. Should I stop being so picky? YOE: 6 TC: 120k 🥜
Brex has a pretty solid tech stack IMO.
How're the Brex interviews like? LC mediums are doable?
Can I get an referral?
I've talked to recruiters at Coinbase, Brex, and Meta. All of them are offering 200k+ for SDE2 roles. Disclaimer: I haven't interviewed for any of them yet so I don't have any concrete numbers
TC at amazon? Assuming you're Canadian
Brex for SWE II range is 250k-300k CAD I believe. (currently at Brex)
Is 1Password comp that bad? Surprisin, I thought it was a good company
It's below market rate, but wlb is good and I'm coasting
Unity can offer 200+ TC in Canada for IC5 and above I believe.
How many YOE does one usually need? Is it like an Amazon l5, or more senior?
I wanna say at least 4?
Leave Canada, it's a sinking ship and won't get better
Aren't salaries getting better?
Also not everyone can leave, when there are considerations like family etc.
Wait for the inflation getting worse. You will eventually be there.
Amazon and Facebook can both pay >$250k CAD in Canada for SDEII. With 6 yoe a good interview will have you at that level, and if you get a couple offers to play off from each other that is pretty easy. You may even qualify for Senior SDE, which pays more. No degree required.
Shopify can do 200K and above for L6
You could try moving into a tech sales role? I am in Kitchener area and have cleared 450k the last 3 years. At Salesforce. But I suspect sales roles at Microsoft , goog in Canada are likely 2x that.

Israeli precision-guided munition likely killed group of children playing foosball in Gaza, weapons experts say
I've gotten a solid stack + 150k TC at 2YOE without LeetCode. (not at the company my account is created with lol) The market is growing and anything is possible, though yeah, LC + read up theory + build projects in areas you want to work in, and spam apply till you get the desired TC.
Where are you working now?
