What is a good salary for a techie with 8years of experience in Toronto? TC- 145k CAD (85%+15%)
not in Toronto but I am in Vancouver, depends on which companies you are working. Canadian companies pays in pennies. FAANG or US based startups pays way above than the market. With 5 years of experience you can get close to 200k CAD base plus tons of RSUs for a pre-ipo startup. I have stopped talking with recruiters of Canadian companies.
This is a US based company. Not a startup, but the job is pretty secure with an excellent work life balance.
There is no such thing as secure job IMO. And I also have a very good wlb with a higher pay so can't complain.
You're on a higher end of TC in Canada with that YOE in Toronto
really! š i have close to 5 yoe in Vancouver. and my base salary is way way above than that and then there are 10% bonus plus tons of rsu.
Exception not the norm. Few US companies and unicorns pay above market. Your one of those
I got 220K TC from Square also with 8 years of experience. I was coming from a 99K TC at a Canadian company (Adtech š¤®) so I took the offer in a heartbeat, but after seeing people in TO with 250-350K offers I realize I should have negotiated better and would've probably raised that to at least 250K. Anyways, I'm very happy at SQ, I like the team and the mission (plus the stock has 1.4x since so my TC is higher now)
what is base for square? square reached out to me after I have accepted the offer.
What's the split of TC?
300-400k

I think even mom and pop shops would pay at least 100k to decently educated engineer though. 85k is like poverty here as a single
Got offered like 65k once from a rando startup as a new grad. Iāve now stopped interviewing without asking for comp details first.
There are def still tons and tons of shops in Toronto that still only pay 90k 85k for even senior. Like banks,telecom, big old dinosaur tech company or start up thatās not yet well funded
when I graduated from college 6 yrs ago, I got an offer of 45K TC
I got the impression it would be 200k+... but I'm also like, half that xp
Really depends on the company. I just moved to Google in Waterloo and my TC is at 245k CAD. Base is half of it rest in RSUs
