If that's truly the case then they would pay the same salary regardless of location. Do they? A lot of big employers have proudly said no, they'd pay remote workers less if they're in cheaper locations.
- colinmhayes 5y agoDevelopers in low cost of living regions demand less money, so they're paid less. Sounds like Google is doing exactly what they said.
- notreallyserio 5y agoI'm not sure that's currently the case, what with the move to long term remote work. Do you have data showing workers demanding less pay after moving to cheaper areas while retaining the same position in the same organization?
- colinmhayes 5y agoFAANGs paying them less is all the data you need. If they thought they could get more they'd leave.
- ergocoder 5y agoIt is hard to say how remote work impacts this. Most companies are still requiring onsite. Even apple (one of the most innovative companies) still wants employees onsite.
