Re:New $100k H-1B visa fee pushes tech jobs offshore by cvhc on Monday September 14, 2026 @01:14PM (#49700454)
It's still bad. I got a 40%+ pay cut after being transferred from the Bay Area to Vancouver. It seems local companies pay even less than US big techs. And just search and see how Vancouver is regarded as one of the least affordable cities.

Though I don't worry too much about the pay -- it's still a decent amount. It just sometimes makes me feel unfair when I'm doing the exact same job as my US colleagues.

You'd take a 40% pay cut, or more, going 20 miles east of the Bay Area.
