Tech companies are known to pay significantly less in Canada than in the US. At Square I’m the only person on my team based out of Canada.
I’m making about 35% of what my least paid US based colleagues make and it makes me sick. I love my work and my team but the compensation really gets to me.
I would probably leave in the near future so I’ll like to know what companies to target in Canada. Which ones pay the most here for MLE and are also remote friendly?
TC: 110k😭
YOE: 3 + 2 year Master’s Degree

Why not move to the US on TN and boomerang back with decent RSUs
After tax: ~6500 CAD a month
Rent: ~1500-2000+ for some place decent, unless you have roommates or live in suburbs
Car insurance: 120-200 if you're new or you've been in an accident
Filling up gas tank will cost 60-80 easy
If you're eating out, prepare to spend 15-20 unless you go to a food court
When I interned at Twitter their Toronto salary was almost as much as their Bay Area salary although the Canadian stipend was half the US stipend.
