Convince me to move to Vancouver, BC. I currently make 190k base in a strategy role at an Associate Director level -
0 direct reports. Up to 225k with bonus USD. ~5weeks PTO; typically work less than 40 hours a week. What would this same level or Director level realistically bring in at base / with bonus in Vancouver, BC? I have 11 years of experience in healthcare (6 years in hospital / provider, 2 years in consulting at BCG and 3 years in the insurance space )

Hmm where are you now OP? Vancouver does offer beautiful scenery and proximity to ocean if that’s your thing

Also side note - any chance you can share more about your experience working at providers? I’m thinking of doing the same :)

I guess I'm confused on how your husband is depressed living in Hawaii, and how a move to Canada will make things better? I just don't know if moving from one location to another will really change that. Maybe you should look into help/guidance for him?

I'd also say that there's a lot of variety within the US so, if Hawaii isn't necessarily the place you both see long-term, then you could look into other US states.

And Canada worships illegal immigrants and refugees more than the US. Tax payer money will fund everything including one time payouts of thousands of dollars, a year full of rent and low income housing, and state sponsored drugs so you don’t have to be stuck buying low quality drugs from street dealers. Laws are laughable (a person arrested for shooting someone in a mall in broad daylight was given 1 year of home confinement where he is allowed to watch Netflix and go out for hours at a time)

If you are making 190K base at AD level, then I can confidently say that you are pretty high and above the upper threshold of compensation at Cognizant. The standard range is about 130-150K base, based on what I’ve seen.

Hey, your story sounds similar to mine. I moved to Vancouver from Seattle after I decided to leave BCG (to be closer to my in-laws).
