You'll be able to survive and infact save some as well. But still it depends on the lifestyle you choose. Also initial settlement is always involved when you shift to a new country or a city. But eventually the operating cost/living expenses won't be the same always. Btw what is your JL?

I understand about initial settlement..but in general grocery and everything is extremely expensive. Its jl5

i believe your salary should be 100k CAD
are you in Calgary or somewhere else
calgary is cheaper so you'll be able to save, if your wife can find some work then it would be great

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?

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role?

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
