"I was feeling this interview until he said he gets paid $22 an hour. That is close to minimum wage here, and its not much money because cost of living is very high in Toronto, so he's exaggerating a bit on some of the things he's saying. If you dont believe me google it. The companies are fighting for him because they are robbing him. He should be paid much more for what he's doing, at least $30 + an hour. He's only taking home about $43K per year. Very soon his eyes will be open and demand what he's worth. All the best to you sir 💯."
