Hello Everyone,
I am a Spanish Telecom Engineer with 4 years of experience. I have been offered a position in Montreal for 67k CAD per year (gross salary), and I am having some doubts.
Is this a good salary for my profile? The guys offering me the job are a little bit frustrated because I am having doubts.... but I have some friends here that lead to me believe that this offer is low for canadian standards.
Any reply will be greatly appreciated.

Hola Sanchismo,
El salario es uno bajo de lo normal. Con cuatro anios de esperiencia deberias estar rondando entre los 70k - 75k CAD. Mi esposo es un ingeniero tambien con 20 anios de experiencia y esta rondando sobre los $100k CAD. En que parte de Montreal esta la compania que te esta ofreciendo trabajo?

Hola Dally,
Has confirmado mis sospechas, he intentado negociar justo en el rango que pones en el post pero ha sido imposible.
De todas formas, el salario es bastante mejor que el que tengo en España así que he aceptado la oferta.
La empresa está en Decarié cerca de la Station de la Savane.
Muchas gracias por la información,
Un saludo,
Sanchismo

Hola Sanchismo
Mi esposo trabaja en Boisbriand, al noroeste de Montreal. Vivimos en Mirabel, tambien al noroeste de Montreal. No se si tienes familia en Montreal contigo, pero si quieres hacer amigos y de vez en cuando hablar Espanol, te puedes comunicar con nosotros al email: [email protected].
Bueno, como dicen en ingles: "you can get your feet wet" y una vez estes establecido, podrias buscar otras oportunidades con mejor remuneracion.
Saludos,
Dally Lowry

Dear members,
As you are on the anglophone forum could you please write in English so that others can understand and participate?

Hi Armand,
My appologies. I just sent Sanchismo the following message:
The salary they are offering him is below the normal range. He should be between 70k-75k with 4 years of experience. My husband is also an Engineer with 20 yrs of experience and is above the 100k range.
Thank you,
Dally Lowry
