Get a job first, then done.
US based employers tend to like Canadian educated students. Especially if you got good grades.
Also even though Vancouver starts at $60k, it also ENDS at $80k. There is no upper limit to pay in silicon valley.
Does it really top out at $80k? I just moved here from Toronto and I was expecting ~$110k as an iOS dev with a couple years under my belt.
which company pays $110k in Vancouver?
I just moved here and I haven't been looking for work so I wasn't sure. This was just the number I had in my head. I guess I work too much with US clients :)
