I’m Indy so I get both, don’t have to choose

Until you’ve experienced both captive and Indy, how can you honestly compare the two to come up with better path? An investment Indy vs a captive insurance with investments on the side are completely different worlds and again, if you haven’t done both, how can you compare?
I’ve been down all these roads in my career and found what’s best for me and to answer the original question......I have both.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
