Why are Canadian salaries lower than US salaries, while we do the same work for US clients.

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.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Has anyone dealt with submitting domestic adoption costs for reimbursement? Do we just email them our receipts as the expense has occurred. Is there forms to fill out as well? I just started the process and made my first payment and want to know how to submit.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
