Canadian SWEs, have you tried moving to the US? Why or why not?

If you made the move, did you eventually move back? Do you plan to? How long ago did you do it? And how did your life change? Do you regret anything? Would you have done anything differently? What do you wish you had known before?

If you're studying SWE or CS at a Canadian university, are you planning to move to the US? What do your classmates plan to do? Did you do internships in the US or in Canada? Do you plan to stay in Canada? If so, why?

If you work in Canada for a US company, such as Google, how satisfied are you with your TC? Do you think it compares favorably with the TC of US-based engineers? Have you ever considered requesting an internal transfer to a US office? Do you know if other people have done it?
