175k YoE: 4 (SDE2) Downtown Toronto Definitely an exciting time to be in this growing city. My salary was <60k when I was interning back in 2014. I think tech is one of the few domains where income is outpacing the real estate market.

Hmm, it seems like that's not uncommon. My higher TC might be because I did freelance for a few months and generally have gained experience from independent projects. Or I just got lucky. Unfortunately I have no idea how much my colleagues make so I can't know

time for a change

That’s too less… you should move and you could get 180k+

I’d say offers for senior engs at decent tech companies in Toronto are min $200k TC while a staff eng should do over $300k. Salaries have definitely been going up.

What do you mean by "decent"? Is it the company size or amount of time it's been around?

Big companies in GTA (and some in KW) can pay new grad 140k - 200k

I've been working in the industry in the GTA for a long time (15+yr) and I think the salary distribution you see on levels.fyi is pretty accurate - most software eng jobs pay 85-150k TC in the GTA but there are some places where you can double or triple that. TC has been moving upwards quickly over the last 2-3 years thanks to increased competition for engineers and I'd expect that to continue for another 1-2 years (e.g. Meta's announcement abt a new engineering hub in Toronto)
