Are you willing to take US$60k/year starting salary for roughly the same COL as Austin, Texas, but with a 40% income tax rate?

The Canadian govt has decided our economy needs to specialize in very cheap software consulting that is primarily outsourced from the USA, so we're bringing in hundreds of thousands of people a year to graduate from "IT" programs at a rate that leaves them with no marketable skills. This saturates the labour force with low-productivity programmers.
