None of those Canadian companies pay even close to American big tech/unicorns, and big techs have a presence now in Canada so my top companies aren't really different from someone living in the bay area (Google, Meta, Stripe, Bolt, etc).

Yeah my understanding has been that the salaries are significantly lower in Canada. Like Amazon's new grad salary is something like 110-120K CAD (\~93K USD) and in the USA it's around 130Kish USD... which is a massive difference. and the market and ranges are also pretty crazy right now in the USA (some new grads are getting up to 150K USD).
