software development company

Hi all, I'm brand new here and looking for some advice. I'm putting together plans to start a software development company.

I live in Toronto, Canada and I'm not a programmer. I have an understanding of it, but never learned to code.

My plans are to handle all client side dealings and to hire the programming offshore - either a small company or my own employees.

I'm talking about a small operation here, just me and a small team of programmers.

From some research I've done, I'm considering Mexico and Argentina.

They are closer than India and have similar time zones.

I just got a job offer from a major software development company. It’s a software engineering position and pays 80k/yr.

Is this a competitive salary? I have no idea how to go about determining what I’m worth based on my qualifications.

I’ve looked at sites like glassdoor and payscale, but they just provide “average” salaries, which isn’t as useful as one might like.

I just graduated with my Master’s degree in Computer Science and have a couple of internships under my belt.
