Have any Canadian PMs got remote jobs at US companies to take advantage of higher salaries?

I'm a PM based in Toronto, 8 YOE (only 2 as a PM, previously in finance), looking for my next role. Current role at is $100 salary +$20k bonus (CAD)

Based on the info in this group, salaries in the US seem to be much higher.

Are there specific companies that will hire employees based in Canada? Did you pull in a much higher TC? Any other drawbacks or advantages or taking this approach?

Similar exp, I joined a US based SaaS company as a Product Director. TC 200k, fully remote job.

@TD: HR reached out to me. They were hiring an FTE from Canada just from a cost-cutting perspective as they need to pay 2x to someone in the US.

Usually they pay you through their Canadian payroll. So it’s just like working for a Canadian payroll with us equivalent CAD

Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.
