Comment on Ask HN: Tech career advice for unsexy but decently paying jobs($100k, US remote)

Comments

Same question for Canadians. I thought all high pay unsexy jobs either need a lot of experience or some special connection.

Do these high pay, unsexy jobs exist in Canada? And what am I repeatedly doing wrong?

The highest paying jobs I see are at the FAANGS. Other than that, the jobs all seem to be within a few percent of each other. Many employers in my area start off as contracts where you need to exceed expectations for a couple of years to be converted to permanent full time.

Oh don't get me wrong. The idea of OP's high pay is 100k USD so I think the equivalent is about 100k in CAD. High indeed but no match for FAANGs. But it needs to be unsexy and free of worry of being laid off frequently.
