Wait, really? I've never heard of Canadians from UW making $8K like they do in SV/SEA/NYC
A lot of Canadians from UW _are_ the ones working in SV/SEA/NYC.
Yeah, I was assuming the compensation in Canada is why they choose to do so.
It does sound like he means companies in Canada.
There's only about 5 companies in Canada that pay about 5k/month. Everything else pays 3k/month.
Depends where in Canada. Many large software companies here will pay ~3k CAD per month or less.
That's super low pay. I would not work for that at any company; even as a student I am well aware that they are getting way more than 3k CAD from me in value.
