Remote work demonstrates that this is a national and/or worldwide labor market, so paying people based on where they choose to live makes no sense to me.

- spfzero 6y agoAgree. The value to the employer of two equally-talented and hard-working remote employees is the same. Why pay differently, and if you were paying different rates, I'd expect over time (a decade?) that differential would go away.
- refurb 6y agoSalaries aren't determined by value (though that's often the cap) they are determined by supply and demand. Open it up to WFH anywhere and your supply just went way up. Some random person in WY is likely willing to work for Google for much less than 20% below bay area salaries.
