Software Dev/Eng. Largely Angular/Vue, C#/Go, SQL Server/Postgres, and Azure/AWS/GCP full stack development.

I'm not sure how tech pay works in Canada. I know in the UK and surrounding that tech pay is significantly lower than the US.

I am in the US and tech pay here can be criminally high (or criminally low). A lot of people chase RSUs, but I chase base pay.

My friend went from a $15/hr IT Support job to a $500k+ (TC) in 4 years hopping 4 times.

It's stupid money that I assume won't last forever so doing my best to save/donate what I can now.
