Last I checked, here in BC the wage for a senior programmer typically ranged between 80 and 150, Canadian.

Taking a 20% discount on a SV senior salary, in American dollars, would likely be a significant raise.

150 seems high in my experience in Vancouver. Are you able to comment on which companies pay towards that end of the range? I guess this would be Amazon, Microsoft, Apple?

150 is entry level for Amazon Vancouver now. These would have to be local companies

I know for certain that SAP, Amazon and Microsoft will pay that much for a senior developer.

The main difference is no RSUs vs. $200-500k/year RSUs.
