They’re also hiring very aggressively from what I can tell. They have recruiters all over and the path to interviewing is remarkably short.

I didn’t bother because I like my job and I suspect their salaries in Canada will be very… Canadian.

Cool, thanks for that. I’ve been hesitating recommending looking into meta in Canada because so many companies see Canada as a cheap source of talent.

I mean it's still lower than peak bay area salaries but the Toronto scale is completely different from even like 2 years ago

Same with the Victoria scale. It wasn’t uncommon to see companies kind of capping out around $90k. I had to negotiate way too hard before I started working remotely instead. Since then I see rates around 120-150k in senior roles, which isn’t that much better with general COL inflation around here, but it’s an improvement. I think you’d generally do better by working remotely, still.
