And interns in Canada. On my second internship, I got paid more per month than my mother who works in the public sector!
Yup... I'm in the wrong company.
Whereas I'm the wrong country...
Depends where in Canada. Many large software companies here will pay ~3k CAD per month or less.
That's super low pay. I would not work for that at any company; even as a student I am well aware that they are getting way more than 3k CAD from me in value.
No thank you.
Wait, really? I've never heard of Canadians from UW making $8K like they do in SV/SEA/NYC
A lot of Canadians from UW _are_ the ones working in SV/SEA/NYC.
Yeah, I was assuming the compensation in Canada is why they choose to do so.
It does sound like he means companies in Canada.
There's only about 5 companies in Canada that pay about 5k/month. Everything else pays 3k/month.
