Could you give rough range of these offers? Would be interested in understanding absolute numbers

My lowest offers where 120k CAD Base, 100k USD in options.

My best two offers:

200k CAD Base, 390k USD RSU /4 years, 20k CAD Sign on

200k CAD Base, 330k USD in Options / 4 years, 20k CAD Sign on

I'm also still waiting on some numbers from Google Canada but I doubt they will match.

These offers show signs of life for Canadian salaries. I am presuming you are in Toronto, and these were IC roles.

What types of companies were the 2 best offers?

I'm actually in Vancouver but both roles allowed me remote.

Wish is one so post-ipo.

The other is a Series D startup based in SF.

I think remote is your best bet for high salary in Canada.

edit: also in Van.

Wish is one. Though I'm not a big fan of their product.

The other is a Series D startup based in SF

yup - Wish paid a lot in TO as well but then again, their product isn't necessarily appealing.
