Ask HN: How Does a Canadian SWE/Data Scientist Make a Move to the US?
if getting to 2-3x pay by converting the USD-&gt;CAD then you have to convert the COL into CAD and it&#x27;s much lower in Canada than the US. If you don&#x27;t convert either then it&#x27;s maybe just slightly cheaper in US, though in the markets where 2x non-converted comp exists, the COL is still probably higher.
