What do you mean? Is this a way of saying "many Bay Area companies don't hire remote workers"?
- loeg 9y agoIt's more than just not hiring remote workers. Some employers are actually surprised that one might not want to relocate to the bay.
- jaggederest 9y agos/surprised/angry/ People act like you're denigrating their entire way of life if you won't sell your house and move to the bay in return for their uninspiring below-market salary and the chance to "disrupt" something. They get especially upset when I say that the cost of living differential would need to be 50%+ of total comp, plus around $30k in moving expenses.
- colmvp 9y agoYou can look at the weekly/monthly HN job posts to validate your comment, as quite a number aren't remote friendly.
