I'd agree with this - standard out-of-school packages at top companies are around 130K-150K range these days in total compensation so there's no need to reflexively not apply because the lower range is above 100K, since it takes so little effort to apply. A lot of companies are willing to pay above that for inexperienced devs as long as they have strong potential. He's probably right that any job posting with a stated lower bound above 100K is probably not an entry-level position but again, not all jobs are posted with the intention of picking someone with the exactly the right level of seniority.

Canada may be free of Donald Trump but it's just not the land of well-paying programming jobs. But like what Victor was talking about earlier, it's also much more competitive in SV so it's not all free money.
