These are not salaries. It’s total comp. My total comp. calculating pension and benefits in the Great White North is similar, and that’s govt. to boot. Total comp is always a highly misleading number.

These numbers aren't including benefits (medical, dental, 401k match, etc). These are salary, RSU, bonus.

If you added benefits to these, it would likely be an additional 50K a year (healthcare, 401k match, other incidentals).

Your pension and benefits are not immediately liquid and wouldn't be included in this comparison.

RSUs from publicly listed companies, on the other hand...

[bostonfincs]

This is total comp outside pension/benefits. So solely salary + bonus + RSU. Only income earned directly not benefits.

Really? I’m surprised. Every offer I’ve gotten in Canada has been 20-30% of US offers (and this is in high CoL cities like Vancouver and Toronto)
