Medium: Don’t leave Toronto-Waterloo expecting a higher quality of life in the Bay Area
Debunking the myth of higher pay in Silicon Valley.
Don't leave Toronto-Waterloo expecting a higher quality of life in the Bay Area. Each year, like clockwork, I observe the mass exodus of highly-skilled engineering and computer science students from the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Their reasons for leaving are varied: the allure of joining exciting technology companies, the promise of higher pay, and for those heading to Bay Area the balmy California weather can't be dismissed.
