Evolving Reddit’s Workforce

And this seems like a desirable outcome, at least short term, for reddit. They get to pay (slightly) lower than Bay Area salaries, and get the top candidates across the US.

Ironically, years ago they made their entire workforce move to SF, after they'd been spread all over the country ever since reddit started.

I keep hearing this. Yet in practice have not seen top candidates in non Bay Area cities request drastically lower compensation

Top candidates in non Bay Area cities are already getting paid a fair bit lower. They’re not requesting lower pay, there just isn’t the same demand for top software engineers.

Yeah, this is even occurring in second tier cities like Austin, Denver, etc (well maybe slightly less so more recently).
