From my experience the Toronto number is heavily underestimated. There is a huge shortage of senior devs here and this is intermediate level pay.

Interesting, thanks for that insightful comment!

Can you give any examples of larger companies that are hungry for senior devs?

Cheers.

And with the current exchange rate... $106k USD is ~$140k CAD... so about half.

It's interesting that Toronto is 10% below the national average of Canada. I wonder where the highest salary is? Vancouver perhaps? Waterloo?

Thank you kindly.

What about the cost of living in these places?

A decent 1 bedroom apartment in downtown Toronto will run you about $2500 CAD/mo.

A decent 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco will run you about $3500 USD/mo. Or about $4700 CAD/mo.

So you make a good point.

If you can afford to own your home however that really makes the move worth it though, imho.
