Hoping to get in touch with #Peraton recruiter! I have about 9 months left in Air Force where I work in cyber defense and vulnerability management, have a BA in cybersecurity, sitting for CISSP and have lots of certs. Would love to chat with someone about opportunities. Hold a clearance and could technically start in 7 months. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you.

Cost of living is much lower in Canada (may be)?
I would compare the net pay at the end of the day
😂 Canada is like Switzerland. Way more expensive to live in Canada than the US due to low salaries, exorbitant cost of living / housing, high taxes.
Wage inequality is pretty bad in the US so that’s a factor. We also don’t have universal healthcare which can be a big cost. For example, I know the full medical plans at my work can be up to $300 a month just for one individual, no family. Of course you can have a lower cost plan, but it’ll cover next to nothing. I also don’t know how this factors, but our taxes could be different. I haven’t lived in Canada so I can’t say for sure, but I don’t think it would be worth it to live here in the US for some extra money. Another thing I don’t know much about is maybe labor laws/holidays/time off. We have next to no protections for that. I have 10 holidays a year, and legally I don’t think they have to even provide those. I don’t have a full like assessment of both countries, but just some things to consider outside of just salary that could contribute to the disparity.
Same reason Indian salaries are lower than Canadian salaries even though they do the same work too. Market size.
