There are over 1000 engineers in Amazon's Toronto office. Every one of us knows we could make a huge increase in total comp by moving to the USA. Amazon would even help us make the move, relocation support, everything.

I know ~3 people who've done so after 7 years here. We just like it better here, money be damned.



What's the pay differential between Toronto and SF/NYC?


Presumably the ones who wanted to move already have so you’ve never met them.


Exactly, most of the people that I know and moved to Amazon Canada did so,because they got stuck in a visa limbo in the US


But after a year or two in the Canadian offices, they usually qualify for an L-1 if they wanted to go back.

And yet, here we all are.
