Comparable to where? Not the Bay Area. I interviewed for a remote position with a Canadian company a while back, and they weren't able to pay me anywhere near a market rate Bay Area salary.
Bay area only pays more because 90% of your salary goes to rent.
if 90% of your salary is going to rent, you're either taking a ton of equity or terrible at negotiating.
it was sarcasm.
yes
Cool, how welcoming are they to non Western immigrants? And also recent graduates?
My wife is a non-Western immigrant (English is her third language). She says she's never faced any discrimination and many people assumes she was born here (in Toronto). Non-white people are very common and very accepted in Toronto.
Toronto is really diverse, and a very welcoming city.
60% of Toronto is foreign born.
Very welcoming. I was born in Brazil, being here over a decade.
What's the average tech salary for a 5 years+ experienced programmer (ruby, golang, etc)?
80-90k, my first job out of school was ~75k.
60k CAD
It is definitely not 60K. I made more than that way back when I was a new grad.
Congratulations.
I'm Canadian. Dev pay is not comparable unless your margin of error is literally tens of thousands of dollars.
Cost of living in Toronto is roughly 30% cheaper than SF:

So a 15-20% salary reduction probably puts you ahead.
Every good dev I know makes 100K+, some make 150K+ and cost of living is much less.

Sure. Budweiser is $50/case and gas is $4/gal. How's health care free again?
It's free if you take transit and don't drink shitty beer.
Can't compete on cheap booze in Ontario (fancy stuff is comparable).. Everything else is.
