Can you name a single company that pays Remote Employees SF/Bay Area salaries?

Edit: Fair enough. There are companies that pay everyone SF level salaries but you can also find companies like Gitlab - 100% Remote but they explicitly downscale from SF salaries based on location.

Elastic https://elastic.co

Some stats:

  - Not just "Remote but in the US"
  - 1,000+ employees
  - 40+ countries
  - Local holidays
  - Co-working Space stipend, if you want it
  - Almost nobody goes to the offices we do have
  - Everything is written down and x/referenced: GH, email, Slack
  - Zoom for face to face
  - Engineering All Hands: Usually twice a year, once EU, once US
  - You work on your own Timezone, expecting otherwise is ridiculous

So they pay everyone at San Francisco rates?

Sure -- an other example of a company that does salary-by-location is Buffer, which posts its salary calculator online: https://buffer.com/salary/senior-data-scientist-2/average/

My point wasn't to say that Stripe should do one thing or the other regarding location-adjusted alaries. I was asking the previous commenter why he indignant that the question be asked of Stripe at all, as if it were irrelevant.

Expensify! I work as a remote engineer, but we have remote employees all over the world (Europe, Asia, North America, Australia) that don't have their salaries adjusted for COL.

BaseCamp. https://github.com/basecamp/handbook/blob/master/making-a-ca...

Do you see any reported salaries? The numbers on Glassdoor for Basecamp are quite low when they claim top 10%.

Here’s their announcement about it that explains their methodology and that they started in 2018. https://m.signalvnoise.com/basecamp-doesnt-employ-anyone-in-...

I don't really want or need an SF salary, but I do expect a company to compensate fairly and not based on where I live at any given time. I can understand a reasonable adjustment based on the different compliance costs and payroll expenses for a given political jurisdiction.

Mozilla reduces salaries outside of SF/Bay and NYC, but from what I've seen it's not a major difference.

ime Salesforce adjusts by locale, but not significantly so
