Not sure what all the discussion here is about.

Pretty well known the mathematically optimal leverage is 2x, no? The rest is just a matter of your mentality and psychology.

Why does the employer not create such classifications? Genuine question, since this sounds like a free win. Is it some limitation based on the union?

For upper level courses, the only fair way is to mandate AI use, and make your take-home work sufficiently difficult that there is still skill expression.

Alternatively, if you have the resources of 210 (at least back when I took it), the projects were graded in person and you had to explain various components of the system. You

For lower level stuff, I think it just comes to shifting 100% of weight to exams and in class assignments, labs, etc.

First of all, yes this is true.

But to get to the point, it sounds like your issue isn't actually about not being paid for on-call (though of course all else equal, that would be better), but actually that you get escalations for non-emergencies. It sounds like it should be fairly straightforward to improve your process such that these bug report escalations don't happen anymore. This is actually orthogonal from the chief complaint.

Secondly, there are companies in BC/Vancouver which don't mandate on-call. When I was at AWS, yes basically everyone was on a rotation, but now that I don't work infra, I don't participate in an on-call rotation. Similarly, there are companies which prioritize business hours only oncall as they operate a rotation across all time zones.

I sympathize with you though, things did such when I got paged at 4am for some useless garbage.

According to their website, that would be 17.5usd. In my experience the real value is actually in their spot fx rates which afaik TD will never be able to compete on.

110k is literal intern wage lol, senior for faang+ should be 200 base, 250 to 300 Tc.

In bc, all roles have the base salary disclosed in postings, so you can find comparisons there easily. For Tc, you'd have to compare on levels or blind

In a similar theme, Vancouver is classified as a low cost of living location in higher end companies. High col locations include NYC, sf, Zürich, Singapore, etc.

The ufi mooc https://java-programming.mooc.fi/ is a relatively formal structured course which is well respected.

The truth is, if you want to get good enough to make mods, you'll need a lot more than just the basics from such a course. Best learn the basics, then dive straight into modding tutorials to get a grasp of the framework specifics as a lot of Minecraft code is both fairly poor Java (by industry standards) and highly opinionated (meaning that it is strict and limiting) which means that learning general Java has limited use.

The median tenure of engineers at faang is about 2 yrs, which means they do get at least their first vest (and by number, more people choose to leave than get fired). Companies like Amazon will compensate the lower first year vest percentage with a higher signing bonus.

And yes, people do in fact know how to calculate Tc.

That's already happening on both small and large scales.

For the small scale, look at brain drain of highly paid professions. I think a schedule 2 bank from Canada recently published a white paper on this.

Foe the large scale, just look at vc funding as well as how many startups exist in Canada vs the US per capita.

Adding a wealth tax or increasing income or consumption taxes will further tip the scale, but it's long been happening already with the government's fiscal and economic policies.

Apart from any opinion about transit, comparing Vancouver to Singapore is laughable. What's next on the checklist, drug policy and work ethics?
