And interns in Canada. On my second internship, I got paid more per month than my mother who works in the public sector!

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.

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.

No thank you.
