Some say "get paid less and be way happier", but I think it's a bit misleading.

When working in Canada, for a company rules by canadian labour laws (health insurance and what not), your actual cost of living is quite proportional to the salary cut.

I'd say "get paid proportional to the cost of living, and be way happier".

Of course, the best scenario is living in Canada and getting a US salary! 😎

I don't know anyone working in US tech that doesn't have full health benefits.
