We do use SFBA but the median salary, which isn't super competitive in those locales. Most top tech firms pay 75th %-ile+, so yea it makes SFBA recruiting challenging. This is def a downside because a lot of the scaling experience is still localized in those places, but that will trend down over time. We've had enough success picking up people as they leave the Bay Area.
- PragmaticPulp 5y agoThat's a good point. It's easy to think location independent salaries means paying everyone as much as a FAANG engineer living in California, but the median salary even in HCOL locations is much lower.
