A lot of solid companies are opening up offices in Toronto and Vancouver. Does anyone have any numbers of how salaries for the same role+XP-level vary between the two? Here is a shortlist: Microsoft (Vancouver + Toronto) Amazon (Vancouver + Toronto) Asana PostMates Lyft Segment Slack Lever and more...
I’ve heard it’s 70% less than US TC for msft
Nope 40%.. But then also tax
There is a reason to outsource work to Canada. Save money.
Amazon isn't too bad of a drop-off but Microsoft is brutal
Any examples?
Amazon Vancouver or Toronto TC new grad initial offer TC is like $115k CAD vs like 120k USD in America (ignoring signing bonus, which is similar, again ignoring currency) But Microsoft is like 140k USD TC w/o signing bonus in Redmond but like Vancouver is about 100k afaik Numbers are a bit rough, all Amazon data is pulled from Bo Peng's Canadian new grad salary survey he did for 2018 grads, Microsoft Redmond data is from info from returning interns in Redmond this year, MSFT Vancouver data is from like previous research so that's the sketchiest data I've presented
Dm me I will try to get a range for segment
Anyone knows of Slack salaries here?
Microsoft is a straight up 40% drop from US
