| BC Hydro Employees salaries
As question states, if you're working for Hydro in their backoffice (not engineers), ie in their Finance/Accounting department, how much do they pay on average?
I'm asking because I've recently heard crazy stories about people first year out of univ making around $85k a year... or an admin job in the interior paying for over $100k a year. Outraged to hear these stories but just wanted to confirm that might know people that work for Hydro if these are true figures.

my bro works there. He's an electrical engineer in the powersmart program he makes well over 100k. It's not the money thats the most attractive, it's the benefits. He gets 8-10weeks of vacation a year, company credit card, and a shit load of other stuff. It's a dream come true to work for them lol.

Lots of government employees get it that for sure, my mom gets almost 10 weeks with fraser health. My wife is with Accenture but under the Hydro's old contract and probably gets 6weeks plus another 2 weeks worth of "Y" days so it works out to about 8 weeks of paid vacation. I haven't had 8 weeks off in the last 8 years all together.
