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.

190k is solid middle class income in Vancouver, it's not that much but I guess that depends on what you're used to paying for housing/living expenses. Rent is easily 4k per month for a mid level 1-2bd apartment. Food is about 15% of your income depending on if you eat home or not, I eat at home and its 15% but I buy organic/real food. Home buying is not an option unless you have 20% saved and thats easily 150k for a 2-3bd in a safe neighborhood in an outlying area. Homes are 1million+ in metro Vancouver in the safe areas, and they are all mid or early century so they cost alot to keep up and modernize plus taxes. Vehicles are about double the annual cost as US. Is that enough for you? When its all said and done, after you get done working to live your best life, you are doing more working than playing and it's all worthless in the end if you cant play, right?

4K for a 1 bed is such an exaggeration. 2.5-3 for a 1 bed. And I’m sure closer to 4K for 2 bed, but I still think the higher end of average. Don’t be scaremongering people.

To give an example, I work at Morgan Stanley and make 140k Cad in Canada. Same job in the states pays between 175k and 200k USD base with upto 100% bonus. In Canada I’m lucky to make 20%. Another example, my mother is a senior executive for a US Mid CaP software company. She has someone way down her reporting line who is a Jr. PM with 4 yrs experience making 180kUSD remote in New Jersey and there boss makes 120k Cad in Toronto with 15 years experience.
