I'm not familiar with the cost of living on Ottowa, but
I know tech writers in places here in the US who live
better than I do (at least by the standard they apply to
measure quality of life) on half of what I make here in Silicon Valley.

I've been wrong before (stop that snickering), but isn't $100K in a place like New York (NY) or Silicon Valley about the same as $85K in a place like... hmm Ottawa?

When you consider relative costs of living - housing being a big one, barrista-dispensed coffee being another (for many people), a higher salary in one place would be offset by those higher ongoing costs for essentials, wouldn't they?
