To everyone who is replying in this thread kindly specify USD or CAD. It is difficult to understand if the numbers you have mentioned is in USD or CAD :slight_smile:

Thanks.

Most things mentioned here are CAD, especially salaries in Canada. Also if someone talks about something in Canada and mentions $, it’s almost always CAD.

What is the primary reason for the tech job growth in Canada? I guess job growth would result in automatic salary uptick eventually.

Wow. These salaries are really low. What is a decent salary for a Staff engineer with ~10 YOE? is 125K CAD average or low?

@ggsrivas this is an ancient thread so the salary ranges are outdated. Depending on your skill, a staff swe can get a total compensation of $200k+ Check levels.fyi for Toronto to get a better idea.

Can you elaborate “you can pick up assignments in US, UK with out much trouble as compared to holding an Indian passport”

Why do you need Canadian citizenship for this?
Is it not already possible with just PR?

what is difference between “staff software engineer” and “software engineer”?

As far as I know, Staff s/w engineer is usually a leadership technical role, not unlike principal architect (higher than team lead/Sr. engineer).

@srhere staff swe is usually L7 in one of the “big tech” companies. Senior software engineer is L6 usually. It may vary a bit between companies.
