Silicon Valley Looks North as Tech Giants Expand in Toronto
Paywalled. Not sure how to feel about this. Toronto has changed substantially in the last decade and a half, going from a place where property was affordable and socialized resources like community centres and healthcare were accessible to a place that&#x27;s overcrowded and worse in many ways if you were used to the high quality of life it used to offer. I don&#x27;t see a silver lining in a potentially higher salary because it will just be captured by landlords &#x2F; rising cost of living. I also don&#x27;t think all these competing companies will cause salaries to rise that much since its much easier to bring immigrants over here and improve the pool of job candidates. My company in particular has doubled the people in our office with ex H1-Bs that have been converted to something like TFWs I imagine.<p>The only positive I see is the potential of working on something I like more from a subject matter point of view.
