Big Pay, Big Moves: Why Canadian Talent Might Be Eyeing U.S. Jobs

Have you ever considered moving to the U.S. for a job opportunity? You’re not alone. A new analysis by The Logic reveals that U.S. tech salaries are, on average, 46% higher than in Canada—even after adjusting for the cost of living. That means a tech job in the States could come with a much bigger paycheck, making relocation more tempting than ever.

Key Takeaways:

1. Bigger Pay, Same Work: U.S. tech workers earn nearly 50% more than their Canadian counterparts, even after adjusting for cost-of-living differences. If you’re in tech, this means doing the same job in the U.S. could result in a significantly bigger paycheck.

2. More Competitive Job Market: While the salaries are attractive, U.S. tech jobs can be highly competitive, especially in major hubs like Silicon Valley, New York, and Austin. However, top talent with in-demand skills like AI, cybersecurity, and software engineering are in high demand.

3. Remote Work Isn’t a Loophole Anymore: The pandemic made it easier for Canadians to work remotely for U.S. companies, but with many firms pushing for a return to office, physically relocating might be necessary to fully benefit from U.S. salaries.

4. Immigration Considerations: Moving to the U.S. for work requires navigating visa programs like the TN Visa (for certain professions) or the H-1B (which is capped and competitive). If you’re considering the move, it’s worth researching the best path for your field.

5. Is It Worth It? The higher salaries are appealing, but it’s not just about money. The cost of healthcare, lifestyle changes, and job security are all factors to consider before making the leap.

Why It Matters:

For Canadian professionals, this wage gap raises a big question: Is it worth moving south for a bigger salary? With remote work becoming less common and U.S. companies actively recruiting top talent, Canadians in tech may need to weigh the pros and cons of staying home versus seeking opportunities in a higher-paying market.

Building Bigger by Staying Mission-Focused: Ulu Ventures’ $208M Lesson

Ulu Ventures just closed its $208 million Fund IV, proving that sticking to a mission-driven strategy can pay off big. Known for its focus on diversity and underrepresented founders, Ulu Ventures has defied traditional venture norms by staying true to its values while delivering strong returns. The Palo Alto-based firm continues to back early-stage startups with an emphasis on scalable companies founded by women, BIPOC, and other historically overlooked groups in tech.

For entrepreneurs, this is a powerful reminder that VC funding is evolving. Firms like Ulu Ventures are reshaping the investment landscape by betting on diversity, showing that inclusion and profitability can go hand in hand. Founders who may have struggled to gain traction in traditional VC circles now have a growing number of mission-aligned investors willing to listen.

Key Takeaways:

1. Mission-Driven Investment Works: Ulu’s strategy of investing in diverse founders has helped it outperform many traditional funds, proving that purpose-driven investing can be both ethical and lucrative.

2. $208M to Fuel Innovation: The new fund will focus on seed-stage and early-stage startups, providing capital to companies that prioritize scalability and innovation.

3. A Focus on Diversity: Unlike many funds, Ulu Ventures is committed to backing women and BIPOC entrepreneurs, addressing the funding gap in the startup ecosystem.

4. Strong Track Record: Ulu’s approach has delivered consistent returns, demonstrating that diversity is not just a moral imperative but a competitive advantage.

5. Opportunity for Entrepreneurs: If you’re a founder from an underrepresented group, Ulu Ventures is the type of fund you’ll want on your radar—especially if you’re focused on scalable, high-growth ideas.

Final Thought:
Raising capital as a founder is hard enough, but being part of an underrepresented group often makes it even tougher. The rise of firms like Ulu Ventures signals a growing shift in venture capital: diversity isn’t a box to check—it’s a source of innovation and growth. For entrepreneurs, aligning with the right mission-driven investors can open doors while helping you scale your business with purpose.
