I can't imagine any software dev, working for 30k in Canada.

That's close to minimum wage in most provinces, even poverty level in many cities.

Like at the end of Office Space?

Desk jobs are fine, but can also be mind sapping horror shows. And who feels justified, working for 1/2 or 1/3rd what most peers are making?
