Corporate Work in the US vs. Canada?

Posted by Cliff on from the are-they-really-all-that-different? dept.

No One You Know asks: "I've been working as a sysadmin for an insurance company in the US for the past six years, and have decided to move to Canada. I've had it with corporate America, but I'm trying to keep an open mind while job hunting. How does Canadian corporate life compare to that of the US?"

    You will probably make less and are paid in Canadian dollars, so that 60K a year isn't as nice as it sounds. You will also pay higher taxes. But, you also gain free health care as well and have more public facilitties. Also, you can take pride in the fact that your tax dollars don't go to humiliating and tortuing Iraqi POW's.
    Also, it's really, really, really cold in Canada. Hope you like Hockey! Keep in mind, your boss will still suck.
