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
