We cannot expect to earn bigger money in US if you have been working in Toronto with a decent job for years.
Your idea is still assuming that people can earn more in US.
I agree that US will have much more jobs opportunities than in Toronto. But from the income point of view, I don't think it's very attractive.
The 2 famous areas: NYC and California have the highest wage level. But even in SV, 100K becomes a good offer for permanent now. It's not impossible to find higher, but it's pretty hard.
NYC will have 20-30% more. Seattle is 20% less.
Above 3 places have much higher living expenses than Toronto.
Someone in this forum announced that he earned 130K or 140K, so people presume that it's a common case.
I found people in canada have wrong perception on salary level in US.
It's an unfair comparason. If compared a new job between US and canada, it's no doubt that US has much higher pay.
But if considering changing from a decent job in canada to a new job in US, it's another story.
If people have house, family, friends all in toronto, it will become more difficult to decide.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
