Keeping the same pay for every region will either:
1) bankrupt any startup hiring in SF and NYC
2) prevent startups from hiring in SF and NYC
You can't have both.
- andrew_ 4y agoNonsense. This is FUD in my estimation. I've work for remote companies who don't pay regionally since 2010. None of them have gone out of business, none of them have been bankrupted by paying people the market rate.
- boopboopbadoop 4y agoSo bucket 2 then?
- Aeolun 4y ago> prevent startups from hiring in SF and NYC I think most are willing to make this tremendous sacrifice.
- runnerup 4y agoYou can exclusively hire the SF and NYC engineers into levels that aren't offered to applicants from Bangalore and Lisbon and still satisfy "One Job, One Pay".
- rsanek 4y agoWhy not? It seems like your claim is based on one of two assumptions, neither of which I find particularly compelling: a) any startup hiring in SF and NYC will go bankrupt b) the devs you hire outside of SF and NYC for the same HCoL salaries are not worth the pay, and over time will cause business failure or is there another option?
