This was often a hot topic on HackerNews, so we decided to write a blog post explaining why we pay local rates. Please find more information here [1].

This is something that always discouraged me from applying at your company, even though it sounds amazing. I make 150k at my current position working remotely, but based on your calculator I would only make 80k at Gitlab so almost half. What a joke.

You are missing on a lot of top talent due to this policy.
