The agency model is fucked anyway. The bottom 70% work like dogs to send the overpaid execs to Cannes. The agency model thrives on squeezing work out of people and investing zero to none into their growth. All dreaming of becoming an overpaid assholes or find a job that is actually fulfilling.

Anybody here work in Canada? Specifically Vancouver? The cost of living here is outrageous, and I feel like I don't have a fair compensation. I'm currently making $75k with a $5k bonus as an EA with 6+ years experience, and 5+ years experience in my company's industry. Our company doesn't give out yearly inflation raises, so I feel like I'm falling behind. Is this fair, or should I be going after more? Can anyone in Vancouver, Seattle, Canada etc. shed some light on their salary?
