This is a fair point, but theirs is a fully remote setup.
Honestly, if I get hired by Buffer while living in a low-cost area, I’d immediately move to a high-cost city to get better pay. Supposedly, HR shouldn’t bat an eye on that, since there’s the calculator? Or would they ask me to not move?
Would an engineer living out of a hostel in LA get paid more than one who has a mansion in Bali?
- lnnnn 6y agoI know a few people in some companies who managed to move to cheaper locations, switch to remote and keep their salary. Imagine a recruiter trying tl convince them to work for Gitlab but having to move back to a big city and WFH in a tiny condo or otherwise get paid 50% what they make now lol It makes absolutely zero sense from demand/supply PoV and eventually they will have to catch up to the times. Fully remote isn’t an exclusive perk anymore Saying your hiring people anywhere in the world then telling the candidate the offer is shitty bc they don’t live in an hyper-inflated real-estate area is not just silly but insulting
