Sounds like a neat way for Zapier to take advantage of Bay Area talent without paying Bay Area salaries. This isn't really for me, because I don't like remote work and I like living in the Bay Area, but I think this is a brilliant move. However, I'd want to know what the pay scale was like before making this kind of move.
- sidlls 10y agoIf pay were the only factor I'd take a 20%-30% pay cut to be able to move closer to my wife's family and we as a family would end up being able to save more while actually owning a huge home.
- pmiller2 10y agoYeah, if cost of were the only factor, I could buy 2 or 3 houses in my home town for what I pay in rent. :/
- lvh 10y agoZapier has stated elsewhere in the comments that they don't adjust salaries.
- bryanh 10y agoCorrect. We won't be able to compete purely on compensation with Google no matter where you are located. However, you can expect an experienced engineer in St. Louis proper to be paid similarly well (6 figures, healthcare, retirement) -- equivalent for us to an engineer in small-town-Kansas, Chicago-area, etc.
