Gitlab is a remote company and yet location plays into salary. I get that they need to do this to be competitive but still a 1.263x multiplier for San Francisco vs my 0.466x for TN. Seems like the smart play is to briefly live in SF, secure the >2x salary and then move.
Also, kudos on them for this calculator - very transparent!
- chrissnell 9y agoNope, they adjust your salary for cost-of-living if you move. It’s on their wiki.
- sschueller 9y agoBut the calculator is based on rent not cost-of-living. For example rent may be 6% lower in Zürich than in Geneva but Groceries are more than 12% more expensive.

- petepete 9y agoWith the difference in salary between 'rest of England' and 'London' you could probably afford to rent a very modest one bedroom flat in London while living elsewhere and still earn more.
