Naysaspace 09/07/23 7:26:52 AM #1:	We are talking a range of anywhere from 20% to 120% more. I know someone who got a quarter million signing bonus to move to san diego to be a lawyer, after having just 5 or 6 years of experience. That bonus alone was more than triple what she earned yearly at her job here. I have an interview today with a company that has a posted range of "73-76k for Canada, 85-90k for USA". In local currencies.That seems backwards, right? WRONG! USA simply pays more. After exchange rates, its 60% higher to take the job in the USA than Canada (90k usd = 122k cad, 122-76/76 = 0.6). And the fast food prices are cheaper in usa too. wtf man, Canada getting screwed up here! i wanna move to the usa! <cite>Naysaspace posted [p:975912882] in damn, comp...

PizzaPatty 09/07/23 9:16:03 AM #11:	Yeah I am very skeptical about this. In America it doesn't matter what your paycheck is because you will get it all taxed away especially if you are female you have to pay the pink tax. I would never take a job in America if I didn't have to. Your pay will go further in Canada and you will get many more benefits us Americans are jealous of. <cite>PizzaPatty posted [p:975914088] in damn, comp...

Requiem 09/10/23 1:13:16 AM #15:	Professionals working in the US tends to earn significantly more than those in other parts of the world, including the West. Having that said, Canada (probably due to being located next door) has the second highest general income for most professions. So, while you may not be making much money in Canada as a guy in the US, you're making more money than those in Not-America Land. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex <cite>Requiem posted [p:975970140] in damn, comp...
