It’s kinda funny everyone here arguing they should be paid the same regardless of location - but then complaining when the reality of that wish is not what they’d imagined.
- webdood90 4y agoyes, very silly that people desire equally well paid jobs regardless of location. how very silly of them.
- bottled_poe 4y agoIt just doesn’t match the reality of market forces and it’s obvious.
- Vinnl 4y agoBut if you're from the US, remote could mean you're competing with prospective employees from all over the world, who will often be cheaper. So equal pay would be getting lowballed even more, I'd think?
- hitekker 4y agoAgreed. Underpaying engineers is not funny. Perhaps desirable for a cookie-cutter, third-tier, sweatshop that runs on labor as dumb as their management. But not desirable for profitable firms that require real talent. As a a manager who's hired remote engineers across 3 countries, Gitlab's salaries are laughably low.
