Interesting that location affects salary. If you move to a location with lower living costs, is your salary cut?

Glad you asked this, it's something we're constantly pondering. Right now the answer is yes, though we don't do it ruthlessly and our overall philosophy is to show that we truly care about everyone involved. We ask the team member if they feel it's appropriate, rather than forcing it. We've actually not lowered someone's salary in this way yet, though it seems sensible that it would happen. The fact is that the livin…

> with the assumption that location truly is a choice and people have chosen to live somewhere cheaper

That's a terrible assumption to make. People often live where they do due to obligation to others (family usually). I would never work for a company that would consider cutting salary because they moved to a lower cost area. I also know several people that have quit a job rather than relocate to a lower cost part of the country with an employer as the relocation also included a cut in pay.

Los Angeles, CA – Software Engineer Intern. Paid internship, both full-time and part-time will be considered.

We’re building a pickup storage platform Remote Garage – think of Uber for self-storage. We’re a small team with experience ranging from storage and logistics industry to startups and software development, and we’d love to work with someone who wants to make people’s lives easier.

You are ideally a full stack developer, and most importantly, a fast learner. We hope you are experienced with:

+ Javascript, HTML, CSS + API Integrations + PHP + SQL Databases

If you know any of the following, we consider it as a plus:

+ Experience with Javascript frameworks such as AngularJS + Familiarity with enterprise systems built in Java

We offer competitive salary and opportunity to continue with us as a contractor or full-time after the internship. Semi-remote work based in Austin or San Antonio can be also considered, as I visit there a lot.

If interested, please email jaakko@myremotegarage.com for application or any questions.
