I feel like you are using salary to measure worth. A junior dev in SF isn't significantly better than junior devs elsewhere; but the salaries are higher in SF, so if you don't match the salaries, you can't hire any junior devs.
> so, just hire in low-cost areas!
The company execs might be based in a high-cost area (because of family ties, property ownership, etc.), and also might not be ready to eat the cost of running a remote organisation.
- baby 9y agoI think this is the answer, if management is based in high-cost area, then the formula will include a bias for them. I don't think it's bad, it would be bad if they didn't have a better salary because of their location. Does that mean they will hire people from the bay? No it doesn't mean that either. The formula could actually force them to hire people from cheaper places.
