Hey blind, seeking advance on high TC companies in Montreal (needle in haystack I know). I needed to jump ship from one company that was going down and accepted a pay that was below what I should have. I'm a newbie and I stupidly trusted glassdoor. Seeking to hop after only 9 months. YoE: 2-3 TC: 84k So far I got, in this decreasing TC order: Unity Technologies, Hopper, Shopify, Coveo and Expedia. This is excluding FAANG as even if they do have offices here they are either dying (Google with Stadia) or have very few spots in Montreal (Microsoft). I'm restarting Leetcode and am planning to apply soon. Am I missing some? Thanks loads for helping a newbie own a house before his 40s. #software #engineering #swe
Google Montreal isn’t dying. They have more projects than Stadia.
Interesting, I was told they were closing everything except Stadia. Thank you.
What do they have in Google Montreal? Do you need to be able to speak French?
Healthcare in canada pays decent. I was making 140k in tech in the healthcare sector
Healthcare as in hospitals, not telemedicine comps like Dialogue and whatnot, right?
Done both hospitals I think are tied to the health authorities so you end up working for the government. Also health care companies pay decent too. So I’d say both
Yelp should still be hiring in Montreal. As an IC2 you can probably get 150k TC? We recently got comp corrections, so IC3s tend to get around 200-250k TC, maybe more.
That's a ridiculous pay for Montreal. I'm definitely adding it to my list. Thank you!
What was your Unity offer?
Not mine but my colleague with 2.5 YoE in GO got 200K TC.
DRW is pretty competitive
Average salary for 2-3 YoE?
Around 140K TC
Plenty of unicorns and mid-to-high-cap tech companies have roles in Montreal. I have a bunch of personal data points if you want to DM me.
Just saw this.
Unity pays more than Shopify? I got a TC of 115,000$CAD from Shopify as a new grad. I'm based in Montreal.
A colleague I know got 200K TC for a Go job there (Unity) . Same YoE. But I know a senior at shopify that told me everyone is stuck 90k-120k bracket.
Thanks for letting me know. Yeah, I just started at Shopify, but I already heard from colleagues that salary doesn't increase much. People seem dissatisfied...
