I started at $70k CAD in 2012 in Waterloo, ON right out of uni. Admittedly I had &quot;2 years of experience&quot; due to my co-op work terms while studying at UW. Counting for cost of living and exchange rate the US offer is probably still higher, but not 2x.<p>(That said, I&#x27;ve seen startups in Toronto offering $50k&#x2F;year lol!)
