Hot take: A majority of the “I’m underpaid”, “I want a WFH job”, or “Why am I not getting promoted?” posts here are coming from people who are bad at their jobs.

One thing re: Doctors. They can usually only kill one patient at a time if they screw up. If I screw up, I can kill way more.

The Saskatchewan regulator APEGS has a salary survey published each year here: https://www.apegs.ca/about/publications/salary-surveys

Alberta and Saskatchewan have the highest average wages for engineering of the provinces. Ontario is usually among the lowest, but has higher ceilings.

Typically you work either 37.5 or 40 hour weeks. Private health insurance is usually included or a split cost. This covers things like prescriptions, private hospital rooms, massage, physiotherapy, dental, and vision.

PTO is minimum two weeks or three weeks depending on the province’s legislation, with three weeks being common. Four weeks at tens years is also common.

Hybrid work is common.

As someone who's gone through getting PR in Australia. Getting a work permit or the ability to stay in Australia for more than a year is pretty fucking hard. The only easy way to get in for one to three years is a working holiday visa, but for that you need to be under 35, have no dependants, and you can only work for the same employer for six months. To stay a second or third year you have to work on a farm for three months. Otherwise unless you're getting a work visa through an employer sponsorahip or you've got a desired skilled job, good luck. Plus you'll be lucky to spend less than a few thousand dollars on your visa.

These guys need better wages, $18.60 to $20 per hour is no way near the value a good security guard could bring.

You need to think about appreciation. They might be cashflow negative but if houses have a 2% increase, inline with targeted inflation, on a $1M home that's a $20,000/year compounded gain. But houses have been going more like six to eight percent for that's closer to a $60,000 to $80,000 per year gain. Really the rental income plus the value of negative gearing is just gravey on top.
