The U.S. Housing Market vs. the Canadian Housing Market

There's a few companies offering good money, when hiring starts again.

There's the typical Amazon, Google, Uber who pay decently (though Google is only in Waterloo and no remote). Shopify was paying well because they wanted to grow quickly and outbid on top talent elsewhere, but that blew up in their face (I was in the 20% laid off in May).

2 years ago Instacart offered me a ridiculous total comp for remote Canada, but it was mostly paper money- pre-IPO stock that will be worth something, someday, maybe.

Instacart has claw back clause. So if you happened to be laid off or piped, your paper money will become paper

Ya, it's just tough out there. I was laid off in April, haven't worked for a Canadian company since 2020. We'll see how it goes.
