Considering moving from the US to Vancouver, Canada. Primay motivations are for better access to skiing and mountain biking.
I wanted to get an idea of what my salary might look like after the move. I Currently live in a mid tier city and am a L63 @ Microsoft. what would my salary look like if i were to move?
A few more questions:
- If im working for a US team while in CA, is it possible to remain in the US payroll?
- I expect to take a pay cut with this move. Will my money go further in Vancouver than, say, Boston?
- Has anyone else done a similar move? what was your experience like? How has your quality of life been? Any major tax implications?
- Any experience with visas or residency support through Microsoft? How does this translate for my husband?
TC: go **** yourself :)

Not so much a crash as a correction.
Edit: the biking is decent there I will admit, you just have to drive for it. But the skiing, not so much.
-About the same.150k CAD in Vancouver is about the same quality of life as 150k USD in Boston/LA/Denver etc MINUS housing costs
-Never seen any American move here for a tech job.Work culture is pretty much similar in bigger US companies
-Visas to Canada are incredibly easy to get
Honestly if you want to enjoy mountains why not Colorado/Utah/etc? Vancouver as such will offer nothing in terms of career/ life unless thereโs a specific ski slope you want to hit
