Shopify was planning on hiring 1000+ employees for a possible Vancouver office. But they might transition to working remotely so they'll be hiring all across Canada/US.

My friends that recently graduated accepted offers of $90k at EA and $82k at Deloitte. Not everyone makes the $100k+ salary that you hear about. But they think that'll change once they hit senior roles/job hop.
That's so true, everyone is moving east or south because there's more opportunity and the pay is significantly higher. |

100-120 New Grad in Vancouver is definitely doable if you end up at one of the big 4.
EA and KPMG/Deloitte are a bit lower as far as TC goes.
Splunk, Asana, and some other big Cali names have started moving into Van. TC is great if you're at the skill level they're looking for.
Toronto salaries are kinda misleading... they're maybe 10-15% higher but the cost of living is also a fair bit higher. Downtown core rent seems slightly higher, strata fees are 80 cents/sqft, and car ownership is really helpful even if living downtown. If you have to be in Canada though, advancement opportunities there are better. |
I don't know where you guys are getting this information from but no one comes into Deloitte as a new grad making $82K let alone $100K unless you're talking post-MBA. I work in their STRATEGY consulting group which is paid higher than technology consulting and MBAs with experience generally come in at around 85-90k as Senior Consultants. This is what I see in Toronto. The numbers will be lower for Vancouver as well.
