The best jobs? Granted I don't know what "the best jobs" are in Victoria, but that seems surprising. Are there big tech offices in Victoria?

If there aren't good jobs there then it's a different story.

There's hardly anything in Victoria. It's a Government and Retirement town.

Edit: apparently my perspective is dated; see the replies.

Tech is the city's biggest industry.

Was just reading this; sounds like tech started becoming a growth industry recently. Neat!

No so. Victoria has a thriving software community.

There's a significant amount of startups / medium companies / consultancies but no "heavy hitter" offices like FAMGA, which is probably a driver behind the state of salaries. There is some Amazon presence through an acquisition they made on ABE books. Though there's also lots of remote workers here too for big companies like Github / etc.

Workday. Unless they moved out of Victoria cause it's hard to recruit.
