You send me their email because my team compensates people based on talent, not zip code. I don't think you should pay some one more because they want to live

I don't think you should pay some one more because they want to live somewhere expensive, just like you shouldn't pay them more if they decide they want to drive a tesla.
- dasil003 11y agoSo you don't have offices in SF then?
- shanemhansen 11y agoWe do.
- baby 11y ago> I don't think you should pay some one more because they want to live somewhere expensive I don't think that's the problem. The problem is, if you have someone you want in your team, and if that someone is living in SF for example, then you can't offer him the same kind of salary otherwise he will never accept.
- shanemhansen 11y agoI don't think I was very clear because this example is backwards. Maybe I should say we don't pay people less because they live in a flyover state. Engineers in sf do produce value that justifies a high salary. In many cases engineers outside sf can produce as much value.
