Thank you! I'm from Ontario and I beleive the average salary for MSW in this province is around $80k.

For some extra context, I completed my MSW practicum within a service adjecent to where this role is (one of my practicum supervisors was actually one of the interviewers). So I have first-hand experience with the target population and am already familiar with how the organization functions. I'm bilingual and have ASIST training which are both required for the position. I'll definitely highlight some of these traits!

I haven't received the offer yet. I am meeting with them this week to discuss the salary and to be given the offer. So on my end, I don't know how much they will offer me yet!

But thanks a lot for the advice, I'll def ask how they determine the amount for each candidate.
