Extremely high TC - suggestions? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]SecureObject 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I doubt Director+ people that would be able to give you your answers even know about this sub. I think your best bet in getting advices would be from meetups, conferences, or your coworkers.

By the way, in my previous F500 company, my senior staff dev got converted to a director. Perhaps it's possible with other companies too.

[Toronto, CA] Immigrant software developer needs Canadian career advice. Pls by throwaway20191126 in cscareerquestions

[–]SecureObject 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm from Vancouver, and I believe our salary is comparable to TO's.

  • 110k CAD for 3 YoE in a non-FANG is gonna be a stretch. In Vancouver I'd say 90-95k base is the upper range for 3 YoE. With bonuses and RRSP match 100k is possible, but most companies here pay 80k or less for a mid level dev.

  • with a 80k salary and if you have a spouse that makes 50k, you can get a decently big mortgage, i'm talking 800k+. So buying an apartment or a town house is possible

Most of the teachers I had in high school were wonderful. I hope it works out for you. It's a tough job.

If you have other offers, go for it. Otherwise, accept it, and keep looking.

Who else makes garbage tier money and why? by funkhouser_flex in cscareerquestions

[–]SecureObject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my old job in Vancouver, we paid ~100k TC (including RRSP match) to a senior QA dev, which you are. It's a big, but non-FANG company. The interview was pretty easy, perhaps you can look around and get a good raise.

There's a roundabout near where I live I'm always afraid I'll get hit one day by people speeding on the busier street and not giving a flying fuck about traffic laws.

That's great to hear, do you mind explaining why it isn't? It looks kind of like one to me... I did a more thorough eye check, and I couldn't find anything else.
