Yeah a few years ago I was looking around at companies and had some interest in joining Gitlab. Then I saw their pay scale for Oakland and it was laughably low compared to SF even though that was all within my local job market. Ultimately remote first companies that don’t do this will win the talent war and steadily push remote salaries up. Depending how successful they are it may also push major market salaries down over time.
