is this typical?
Not the original commenter but I've been in the industry for like 8 years and this seems believably typical.
SWE is a highly variable field though. New grads working for a giant will make lots, new grads working for a high demand contract shop will make less.
70-ish seems right around the mushy middle for a new grad to me (depending on the role). Probably what you'd expect at some big but not giant tech company like League.
Never heard of 100k for a new (bsc) grad in Toronto (at a Toronto-based job) but there are probably a couple out there. After looking a bit more, 70k might be on the lower end of average. 90k seems realistic at a competitive company, but is more of the "intermediate" range imo.
Remember that there's a whole level of SWE (and similar) jobs that aren't at tech companies, and a whole lot of employers without consistent cash flows.
Again though, software job salaries are a wide band in Toronto. The same job could be budgeted for literally twice as much at one company vs another.
