The US is so much higher than Canada it's crazy

Don't forget that a good chunk of US salaries goes to health insurance premiuns-- over $1k/mo for a family of four
@OP I apparently can't see where. A good chunk of our hires in the US lately have been for Sales. About the same as someone else mentioned unless it's senior or Partner level where they want 10 plus years' experience. 65-70k considered on avg. That's not competitive though because that's matching the roles getting back to me on LinkedIn. That may still be higher than CA, but still average for our options
That's really that's only hiring in the US aside from very specific roles. 3/4 I can see are senior or lead cloud roles. For some clients they do specify US help, but there's not usually any premium on that.
My team and a sibling one got 2 Canadians and 1 in the US for shipping help. Unfortunately we don't have a direct equivalent for both, but if it's under 70k CAD - it's less than the US folks who do have one. Most hires have been CA, and I have never got asked what I made by any of them to know for sure.
It's kind of made up for the in the offices though - Waterloo has giant offices, soon to be multiple alone. While most of the US offices are fairly small, and would need a merge or 3 to ever be truly full. You guys also get nicer office budgets than us usually too. Not ideal - we'd all prefer more in our pockets instead but US doesn't get special treatment.
We get our avg and it's usually just shy of enough. I know people who will have to leave because full RTO will make it not doable or the leftovers is pocket change.
The dollar usually being the 'stronger' currency also isn't helping the comparison.
Yawn, unless you live under a rock there has always bee n a huge disparity between CA and US pay which is only geting wider
TBF thats not just OT, every company pays higher in the US
It might be an OK starting salary, but you lose 4-7% every year you work for the f'n company because they have no real merit increases, no cost of living increases for 95% of the employees.
They su-k so bad, but we all take it up the a$s because we are too lazy to find something else.
Most of us have figures out how to take it in trade, so at least we have that going for us.
Opentext only has one range for US regardless of geography and it was based California. That doesn't mean anyone is actually in those ranges, just what they have on paper.
They’re posting job salaries on the company intranet?
And of course you’re factoring in that $100,000 CAD is $70,500 USD, right?
