GitLab – A $1B business where all employees work remotely

Gitlab's idea of market norms is "market where you live + us, literally the only company that hires remote in the world".

Spoiler: that only works hiring those who are ignorant of the remote employment market.

Assuming I'm currently ignorant of the remote employment market, where would I go to find data or job listings that would give me a sense of what competitive rates are for remote engineers?

I'm not sure there's a great canonical and generalized source of this information.

Anecdotally, 7 years ago, remote, at a bootstrapped 15 person company, I made ~10% more than the absolute max Gitlab would pay me right now. The difference is wildly worse now.
