Even though this is a small sample of data, the results are already wildly different from what various career sites are posting.

I'm a software developer in Toronto and have various companies invite me to come work from them frequently. Most of those offers aren't in the 6+ figures range.

Websites like glassdoor provide some insights. I don't know if it's accurate but I'm going on a hunch that it's more accurate than this thread.
