I started at $70k CAD in 2012 in Waterloo, ON right out of uni. Admittedly I had "2 years of experience" 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.

(That said, I've seen startups in Toronto offering $50k/year lol!)

$70-90k US was the co-op rate in 2011-2013 when I was doing it. The starting grad rate in SF is closer to US$150k (CA$200k) right now after stock.
