Gitlab famously does this, is very open about it [0], and in general has enjoyed more praise for their all remote structure than hell for their differing salaries. Maybe the companies won't rush to cut salaries of current employees who go remote and move elsewhere. But I fully expect them to offer new hires different salaries based on their location. After all, they already do that with their non-remote offices. It's not like Google is paying the same salaries to workers in their SF office and Toronto office.

- city41 6y agoTheir SF salaries that anchor this tool seem pretty low. It states $160k for a senior/staff level backend engineer and $185k for frontend.
- true_religion 6y agoI would agree. Senior level developers in Virginia, can get 200k as a minimum. The only downside I have found is that companies with high salaries either have more difficult work, or poor work life balance.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoI suspect one of the reasons there's not much complaint is that their base pay appears to be pretty high. A senior engineer who lives in South Dakota (either by preference or some life circumstance) is not likely to be too upset about a $100-140k salary.
