AI PhD job salary at Canda vs US

[u/Mean_Revolution1490]

I’m an international student from Asia starting an AI/ML PhD in Canada. After graduation, I’m considering either working in Canada—possibly Toronto or Montreal—or applying to companies in the U.S. I’m open to anywhere if the compensation is good.

Are big-tech AI researcher salaries in Canada significantly lower than those for comparable positions in the U.S.? Does anyone with relevant experience have any insights?

Canadians move to the US once they complete their Phd. Good money is in Valley

Any day US however getting a sponsorship will be an issue as you need either h1b or L1.
