100% true. If this WFH Remote trend continues the software industry in Canada is going to get a rude awakening. I know many people walking away from jobs here to go work remote for US companies for a lot more pay.

Only way to do really well in Canada is to work for a FAANG with HQ here, as they tend to bring a bit of their comp structure with them. Or consult. But even at the FAANG I work for there's been people leaving to go remote for same or more pay.

From my experience with the startup world in Toronto (over 10 years ago, so), the whole Canadian VC industry & startup world was nepotistic. All went to private school together, and role playing a part.

Yea pretty much, Canadian VC is just an employment scheme for failkids + some guy who cashed out 20 years ago on yahoo or whatever to coast around.
