There are corps who pay SF salary globally and reap the rewards, GitLab isn't really able to compete at that level imo.

  You may be right. Though if the articles author is right that they hired too many devs, then they probably could have had a team of 30 sf salaried devs instead of 130 lower salaries and would have done more with them (theoretically)

  Can you name a few who are reaping rewards from doing that?

    DuckduckGo, Accelbyte and Oxide.Computer are the ones I know of.

      All of which pay low for the bay area.

      I haven't looked at the other two, but DuckDuckGo's salaries are in no way competitive in the US market.

  My (biotech, mostly remote) company does this. They may not love it but they realize they have to hire from SF, Boston, NYC etc to get the best ML talent and people expect market salaries / don’t want to up and move if they don’t have to.
