If you are not at the office what differentiates you from someone in china/russia/india/europe? Why should you be paid 150k/yr for something when people who are also not present would do the same thing for 30k/yr? There are people who speak english in other places than Canada/USA/UK...
- munin 15y ago> what differentiates you from someone in... the quality of my work, both in terms of the product (code, papers) and the experience of working with me (communication, cultural fit, etc)? just because you have remote people or even just because your entire workforce is remote, doesn't mean that cultural fit isn't important! culture is about way more than how your food smells while you're microwaving it ...
- hendrix 15y agoCulture in the USA is not that different from the UK/Ireland/other 1st world English speaking countries. So you have a $109k/year position in SF and a $61k/year position in Dublin. Microsoft figured this out years ago. http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/san-francisco-software-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,13_IM759_KO14,31.htm http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/san-francisco-software-eng... http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/dublin-software-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,6_IM1052_KO7,24.htm http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/dublin-software-engineer-s...
- danssig 15y ago>when people who are also not present would do the same thing for 30k/yr? Because the people who are as good as I am also cost 150k/yr. Salary depends on market value, not what it costs you to live. Just because a rockstar in India can live on 30k/yr doesn't mean he will when he can get more.
