Holy shit, that auto-redirects to the salary range in Canada for me (66K-95K CAD)

Tried again with a U.S. VPN and I'm gob-smacked by how different that range is.

Yup, I’m in Canada as well, and I was quite a bit thrown off by the redirected Canadian pay range.

For anyone curious, the Canadian pay range is:

Base pay $66K - $95K/yr

$79K/yr Average base pay

The low end of that base pay ($66k CAD) converts to $45k USD.

While the U.S. pay range is:

Total pay range: $266K - $463K/yr

$346K/yr Median total pay

Pay breakdown $137K - $223K/yr Base pay $129K - $240K/yr Additional pay
