- TypingOutBugs 2y agoI’d have expected Levels.fyi to pay competitive market rates based on all the content around high salaries, surprised to see remote $30k!
- Zaheer 2y agoThis is an India based junior eng role. We pay top tier in India.

- TypingOutBugs 2y agoI don’t know, California-based co-founders trying to pump rates in the US by making people have info on better salaries (we can raise your salary by $XX,XXx!) while simultaneously outsourcing work to low salary positions in India just has a bad taste in my opinion. But good for business I’m sure!
- Zaheer 2y agoWe don't 'pump rates', we make pay transparent which is exactly what we're providing and sharing here. We have US based employees and several contractors as well. We've created several jobs here directly and probably helped thousands in theirs.
- TypingOutBugs 2y agoSure, to increase the rates people can negotiate for. Which is cool, I like more money too! I just find it ironic you’ve had to go offshore to be able to afford talent. Which is what many companies are doing due to the high US rates. With a very small part to play by levels.fyi, because people see the shiny numbers and aim for the same. This isn’t conjecture (but could be an anecdote), I know a founder who offshored because people wouldn’t take a high five figure rate due to salaries shown in the area on levels (this was mentioned in negotiating a couple times). I’ve heard similar stories from others!

- frogperson 2y agoThey want access to US consumers, but don't want to pay US wages or taxes. Just another death by 1000 paper cuts for the American middle class.
