BC also has rules that exempt tech employees from overtime protection.

Hence why the games industry tends to do a lot of work here.



What a weird comment on this site especially.

99% of tech work is salary and now also stock-based.

Overtime protection is simply not relevant, because our work is not hourly.

We can talk about whether this is a good or bad thing and the general culture of crunch in the tech industry, but it's not BC-specific, and also arguably got WAY better since the pandemic


even that is gone. when montreal and ontario offers significant tax rebates, it just doesn't make sense to do it in vancouver


Games isn't gone. It's doing better than ever in Vancouver.

EA is so bursting at the seams due to growth that they're expanding to a new City of Vancouver studio.


Clearly big name studios are fighting each other to move to Vancouver /s
