Interesting, I've always wondered about the very different approaches of Basecamp and GitLab when it comes to remote salaries. Basecamp pays the same, GitLab always (as far as I know) followed the same idea as Twitter and VMware are now doing. I think I prefer the same pay for the same work, regardless of where you are – but as long as cost of living is so ridiculously different that's probably not really feasible. I'd also like that to change, though.
