> Our reasons for paying local rates... With all due respect, this is b.s. Your company does this because it can, and because developers stuck in second and third tier cities (or countries) have few options. It is blatant exploitation on and a black mark on your company.

Disclaimer: GitLab employee here. I am not going to argue about compensation or how we do compensation at GitLab, but I must say: > second and third tier cities (or countries) That is really hurtful to say. Personally I would never want to move somewhere else "just for the money". People happily living somewhere else than SV and being happy without SV compensation is a real thing, believe me.
