Is software engineer such a low-paid profession in Montreal that it is only sufficient for a single person? Lawyers and doctors are in the same situation there?



No, but (at least in this sub-industry) it is more unionized than in the US, with greater deference given to seniority. I've only been out of college for a few years, and am very much at the beginning of my career.

Not sure about lawyers, but Canadian doctors certainly have a lower salary cap (meaning for surgeons/specialists) than they'd have in the US.


The salary quoted here is definitely a low salary in Montreal too for anyone with more than 2 years of experience.


Agree. there are sites do salary compare. if it is Montreal, 55k is not a lot.. Also Quebec has higher tax and better benefit, French is more widely used than English.
