Anyone in MS Ratational program who did not get the H1B and got placed in Vancouver instead? How’s the offer compared with the original offer in Redmond? I am about to get moved to Vancouver since I have not received H1B reception yet. Want to know what kinda of offer I can expect.
Which company are you in OP?
110kUSD->95k CAD for me. Bigger taxes in Canada on everything(signing bonus, stock, base salary). Office with no food, everything makes you feel like a second class citizen. You may end up in a team where the most senior eng is swe2. If you got the H1B you can't go to the US faster than 18 months. Think twice before going to Vancouver :D
So it’s something like 10% decrease from your current number and then factor in forex. So if you make 150K here. It’ll be like 135 CAD.
Thanks, I was hired as a new grad. I guess it will be 108k Usd -> 98 Cad = 75K Usd.
Yea. I that will be about right. Just to be clear; this is because you’re on opt. You didn’t get your h1 so you’re going to Vancouver so you can come back on an L1.
