TL/DR: we pay lower than market rate salaries in all regions where salaries are high.
I do think that as productivity and tools improve around remote and async work salaries in remote friendly jobs will equalize.
- smeej 4y agoI worked at a company that did this, and I left in part because they wouldn't just come out and say, "We don't actually want to hire American employees." Instead they recruited American employees with promises of fast advancement to higher pay, but never actually advanced them. It's absolutely their prerogative to make a decision like that, only to be competitive in low-wage markets, but they should just own it. I think being upfront about this like Graph is doing is a much clearer approach.
- ascorbic 4y agoIt's more like "we're ok with not hiring people in the Bay Area". The salaries will be competitive in most of the US
- smeej 4y agoI don't know what the wage range for these roles is, but at the company where I was, they weren't. They were fantastic wages for southeast Asia, and competitive wages in parts of Europe and South America, but were solidly 30%+ below our competitors who were also based in the U.S., never mind that the wages were so stagnant retail jobs became competitive with us after awhile.
- rsanek 4y agoAre you saying that they're lying about this claim in the article? > We are anchoring our salary to the 60th percentile of San Francisco, CA Why would paying higher in other regions necessitate lower than market rates in high-salary regions?
