If you're refusing to pursue a job at Gitlab because it would pay less then the market rate where you live then the issue isn't that their salaries vary geographically but just that they don't pay enough in your area. If you you object even though they pay higher than your local market rate then you have a weird aversion to money that I don't see a reason for anyone else to care about.
- sleepychu 7y agoI currently live in a major city but have plans to move to a lower cost rural area. If I did that while I was working at Gitlab they would slash my salary and reap my cost saving, do you think I would be generating less value for them in exchange?
- sweeneyrod 7y agoThere are two answers to this. One is "No, but prices aren't determined by 'value'. Having air to breathe is very valuable, but it's free! You've got to consider supply as well as demand." The other is "Yes. Previously you were the most efficient source of code per dollar they could get (on the margin). Now you aren't."
