/open was popularized by Pieter Levels as well, there are quite a few of these sorts of companies.

Interesting that the pricing page (and so I'm guessing the other data) hasn't been updated since 2022.

Those are killer salaries for the ones not in the US. Imagine earning $160k USD in Morocco, Nigeria or Panama. 99.9th percentile.

  There is a well funded US company that pays the same rate to everyone regardless of where they live (or at least did when I interviewed with them several years ago). Unfortunately when I received the offer it was too low to consider vs my other offers because I had no plans to move out of the States but the company had employees living like kings and queens in Vietnam and similar countries

    It looks like it's a base and then they calculate cost of living rather than base your salary on the local cost of labor. That's pretty decent. DuckDuckGo I think just gives a flat value to everyone.

$160K for a software engineer? I don't even get close to that number.
