It's interesting that folks envisioning a globally uniform payscale tend to posit SF salaries in Hanoi rather than Hanoi salaries in SF.
- daenz 6y agoFair point. I was just copying the parent post's number. Likely it would be somewhere in between, as you seem to suggest.
- Nimitz14 6y agoYeah, these guys are going to get slapped back into reality so hard if this WFH thing really takes off.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoNot really. I think we just assume that the situations where housing can't keep up with employment would shift the `income minus necessities` equation in our favor, making the massive assumption that we're willing to move somewhere cheap, or that enough other people are willing to move somewhere cheap, or just not move here in the first place. If the necessity of commuting to SF goes away, SF housing prices are less impacted, so it's more like Portland salaries in SF, and closer-to-Portland cost of living in SF.
