- oakesm9 7y agoSame thing for People from Leed, UK having a higher factor than Brighton, UK. Brighton has the highest living costs in the UK outside of London.
- rdouglas1 7y agoThe location factor applies to anyone living within commutable distance or 1.75hours / 1hr 45 mins. So someone living in central Brighton would be in the London location factor.
- chrisseaton 7y agoThey can set their salaries however they want I guess - none of my business. And it must work for them if they're hiring the people they want. But I looked at GitLab's compensation recently when I was switching job, and even when I maxed every thing out (not saying I'm that good) the pay for the UK was terrible - completely unworkable for a professional software engineer on the global market. I think they had the UK as having lower cost of living than places like the Czech Republic. I know for a fact that cost of living in the UK is not lower than in the Czech Republic. But worse than that they had these little islands of reported higher cost of living. Individual cities like Bristol. I suspect someone influential lived there and wanted to be paid more and they managed to get a special case. I think I earned more as an intern while a university student with another company, than GitLab's top-tier engineer salary.
- dempedempe 7y agoVancouver, BC - 60 Seattle, WA - 90 Vancouver is more expensive than Seattle... And Cuba is 41.1, while Mexico is 35??
- tyingq 7y agoProbably average market salary based versus cost of living based. That would explain Seattle, for example.

- patrec 7y agoI hate to break it to you guys, but the reason Shitsville, TN has has a higher multiplier is not because someone at Gitlab is terribly confused about the relative cost of living in Shitsville, TN vs Paris and London.
