First offer: contractor, USD $85/hour. Second offer: Full time CAD employment, $165k salary w/ a decent health benefits package and 4 weeks vacation. Which would you choose, or how would you negotiate between these two offers?

Neither, both seem low in the current market

Thank you, I do not but I believe that my current skill set are compatible and transferable.

Considering at $85 an hour with 10 days of stat holidays and 4 weeks vacation you are looking right under $150k so deff the 165k. Also people are so out of touch with salaries on this site because apparently everyone is working at FANNG making over 300k which is unrealistic in Canada

165k with 4 weeks vacation is a great salary.

Alsways counter with a 10% plus over what they have offered for any job. I think for the role and YOE you should be able to get 175-185 base

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark?

Q for HR folks! For companies who have offices in US and Canada, how easy would it be for American HR team to set up a role & compensation via the Canadian office for a Canadian remote worker? Would be a lot of work? But i know companies like Meta and Spotify do do this.

I'm Canadian and applied to a US remote role. Canadians don't need a visa for this. One of the ways would be to use Canadian entity's hr/payroll services. They showed keen interested but waned since finding out I'm Canadian.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.
