This is great to see. I visited Toronto for the first time last week and was amazed to see how much the city had to offer. It was so clean and the PATH pedestrian tunnels were the coolest thing I've ever seen.

I would have no qualms moving to Toronto from the United States to work if the right opportunity arose.

Even with the current compensation scene ? Software salaries seem to be really low everywhere except US. Even in other places its the american companies that pay well and the rest are bad.

No. Personally, I would have a hard time turning down SF, Seattle, or NYC for Toronto; this is mostly because of salary.

I've never been to SF, but compared to the other two cities I named above, Toronto was much nicer imho. For a city of 2m+ people, it just felt incredibly clean and safe

Exactly. A ton of Toronto devs I know have left for the US. The base salaries are higher, and the exchange rate only adds more.

Salaries generally are lower compared to the US everywhere I've looked. Those labor protections and social safety net aren't free is my guess as to why.
