Looks pretty normal, this is a hybrid or remote job in Toronto, it’s probably above market.

I live in Toronto, that definitely is not above market for a staff developer

[I know this derails the conversation, but since we're here already ...]

What would be a fair range for that? In Toronto, ofc.

From what I've seen, around 250ish seems to be in the ball park
