I work at Amazon Canada and looking for a change. Got 2 offers recently including the one from Microsoft, but none can even match my current compensation. YOE-8.5, SDE-2 TC-220k CAD P.S. I am summarizing the answers in following list, 1. Google
If that '220k' USD or CAD?
Shopify
I have really bad impression of their interview process. One of my colleague failed their screening and cleared Google interview in the same month. Another one failed their on site and joined palantir US.
for new grad, shopify in toronto didnt match amazon
Google. That's about it. They have a larger presence in Montreal and Waterloo now
Which city are you in OP? And, is that TC in USD or CAD?
Vancouver. It's in CAD. Why would Amazon Canada pay in USD?
It wouldn't obviously. Just wanted to make sure in the case you've adjusted it to cater to the mostly US based crowd on Blind.
You’re out of luck buddy. Sadly most other companies pay shit there. I know senior devs who’ve been working for like decades and theyre barely clearing 150k TC cad.
Your pay is very high... base salary for SDE 2 at microsoft vancouver is around 100k
EA can be pretty high sometimes higher than Amazon. Better culture too
I was making 165k at one point problem was the place was a sweat shop. I think amazon is the only one to actually pay that much cad. And yeah as a senior dev now I am making around 140k. At a consulting company

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
Canada overall pay is less , very hard to match US comp
That TC is not for US. I work for Amazon Canada.
