San Diego Struggles to Keep Its Young Tech Talent

$600,000 for a house in California sounds pretty cheap to me too. That's the price of an apartment in Toronto and even senior software developers here are lucky to clear US$80,000 a year.

Toronto dev here. How many years qualify you as senior in the city? On average how likely is it to score six-figures (CAD) within let's say 4 years?

Definitely not staying here long term. Gonna try to move down-south where developers are better compensated and cost of living isn't so much.

Yeah but it's well known the housing market in Toronto is crazy too...

If you look on realtor.ca, you can find many many apartments in Toronto for less than half of that.
