Hi folks,

I am considering moving to Vancouver to live (my fiancée is from BC). I’ve noticed property there is not cheap and I was wondering if you can give me an idea of the type of salary that a senior software developer can earn in Vancouver.

I am from Ireland, I have 6+ years development experience (J2EE, Java, C++ and C#) and I make about 85K CAD per year working in Dublin. Are Vancouver salaries much lower than this? On average, how much would a senior developer in Vancouver earn?

Cheers
Dan

Thanks for the info Rob, looks like the salaries are somewhat lower in Vancouver. Maybe the lifestyle will make up for it!

The SW developers I know with the same level of experience earn about 65 - 75K CAD/year. However, it also depends on your area of expertise (the business area).
