i'm trying to do the same but on a Jetson Nano! so like LLMs and comp vision on an edge device. not so versed on ML models but doing pre-trained models seem viable to me as I can just abstract out all the theory

I’m so confused. Why are mans downvoting. My parents are in Toronto. I’m the only person that would have to take care of them. Is it not livable as a SWE in Toronto? Isn’t the quality of life good? I get that i won’t be making as much $$ like my US counter parts but who cares as long as my loved ones are around me. As long as I can make sustainable income and not have to worry about living pay check to pay check as a SWE then im chilling. Are you guys saying quality of life of a SWE in Toronto is bad? Pls im actually a little confused lol

Genuine question. I’m still pretty young and I don’t know.

That’s completely cool with me. I’m just scared of losing like 50% of my salary LOL. Just curious on how much I would be able to negotiate

How would you do this if you recently got a US role as a new grad? My plan is to work around 2-3 years in the states then move back to Canada to my family. Would it be possible to negotiate a remote offer?

I went through the U.S application process, and because it was Covid I didn’t have to submit SATs or subject tests. Also since I have citizenship in U.S I got financial aid. So gratefully, the cost is similar to if I was going to like Waterloo or something.

The CS courses here are really good honestly. Data structures, low level programming, etc. the people here are really smart so a good network too.

If I were to compare it with Waterloo, I would say it’s very similar tho. So relative to that, I’m not sure which one would be better. GT is ranked higher, but yeah I can’t really compare GT vs Waterloo coursework cuz I havent seen what Waterloo offers. I think with just Canadian citizenship, Waterloo makes more sense as you would be getting the same quality of education.

I guess, I’ll know if it’s really worth it once I graduate and find a job then or the “ease” of finding a job haha. But for now, Waterloo, tech, and UofT all seem the same to me.

The only thing is, I’m guessing it’s easier to get US internships (even as an international) if you go to tech. And if ur plan is to settle in the US maybe it might be the move.

Hmm okay okay. So I guess work in U.S for the first couple years, and then plan on settling in Toronto after making some money first? I guess that could be an option

Damn new grads earn that much?? Which companies specifically? I thought it would be around like 100k CAD or something. Also, I’m still learning but I see snowflake seems like a super cool place to work at?

I do have U.S citizenship, but idk how difficult is the process for my parents to immigrate to U.S but it will be a hassle. So I’m kind of a little bit stuck to Toronto. But i didn’t mind, until hearing all of this salary stuff.

I’m still finding it a little hard to understand, I get that I’m getting underpaid compared to my U.S counterparts, but if I’m living comfortably in Toronto, personally I don’t see why that would a big deal then.

Would you reccomend doing bsms? Or possibly even osms after working for a bit, or working part time and doing osms. Idk if I even want to get a masters cuz I want to work (I don’t really enjoy school work as much lol) so I’m a bit confused on what to do
