I’m on a TN (Canadian) in the Bay Area and feel like my TC is low 140k , 32 years old not a swe though. Have MBA as Pm. Still have comp sci undergrad. The H1B and TN visa I feel like they have more leverage to lowball and control your salary more. Your thoughts or what’s your tc ?

    Off topic but as a Canadian myself: how did you end up getting a TN in the first place?

    That's true, Visa has no correlation with tc. It all depends on your skills, location and the sector you are working in. You may be on f1,l1,h1b etc who cares. I not in management side, but for SWE with that experience, your presented tc is at the lower end. Ask other manager on blind or best option is to switch the company :) you get to know what's your value in the market.

    Lowball. Your Visa has nothing to do with it.

    TC may get be affected in the long term as you can’t change jobs frequently. But if you perform at the top and are really good shouldn’t have much problem with TC. Personally I am making around 180k for a masters new grad (without sign-on). I am on F1 and so do most of my friends and we all earn around the same band. I believe my compensation is on par with FAANG.
