The top tech companies (Shopify, Google, Stripe remote) pay very well (managers will be > 200k salary + bonus and equity). Local tech companies pay well (120-160k + equity) relative to other types of jobs but low relative to US and top tech companies.

If you're at a top tech company you're doing better relative to non tech than in the US.

If you're left of center politically it's also way less stressful in Canada compared to US.
