They used to have terrible location weighting. I guess based on average tech sector salaries, but there aren’t tech jobs in my area so maybe they were picking up support call centre workers or something and it was a quarter of a reasonable tech salary, even for their highest tier. And this was the UK not anywhere more unusual.
There were also suspicious tiny pockets of higher compensation areas which made me think actually they just rigged it if they had to reach higher for an individual.
Transparent doesn’t mean fair or good.
- brimble 5y agoYeah, last I checked they paid under typical wages (already bad, by coastal standards) at local jobs in my area. Jobs that have much easier interviews. And many of them allow remote, too. I didn't end up with a local employer (again—I have in the past), but I do have a remote job that pays more than local work. And it was easier to get than a GitLab job. So why even apply, unless they've significantly increased pay relative to other options?
- FireBeyond 5y agoYup, my area, just outside the Seattle census area, had poor location weighting. Despite it being in the top 5 cities in the country for YOY home value increases over the last three years.
