Working at gitlab sounds amazing! I have a question about your compensation calculator however: it seems employees are penalized for living in areas with lower cost-of-living. It looks like you pay someone in San Francisco almost 2x what you pay someone in Vancouver. Why is this? Is the SF employee worth 2x the Canadian employee?

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]. [1] - https://about.gitlab.com/2019/02/28/why-we-pay-local-rates/

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.

Warning: I interviewed with them and was given a task with an obscure library to learn which had a veeeery long API. When I pointed out that it was unreasonable for them to expect me to learn this unknown library, which was not even in the job spec, they ghosted me. Complete waste of time.

I don’t know which position you interviewed for, but my guess is one involving javascript, as it’s, I believe, the only one where we ask to use a library.

If that’s the case, the “obscure” library is immutable.js [0], one with mere 27k+ stars on github.

I do apologize that we didn’t outright said that we are not a good fit. Would be curious to learn what do you think we should’ve done.

It’s completely fine not to be interested/willing to take a coding challenge, just don’t know what was your expectation after you decided not to proceed with the assignment.

Regardless of how many stars the repo has on github, why would you expect someone to learn a library just to take a code challenge for your company when the job spec doesn't even mention this library as a requirement? The recruiter specified that "it should only take 2 hours" to complete the task, while thats absolutely false as I would have to read the whole API etc. Also when I asked for a different challenge in either Vanilla JS or any other of the technologies in the job spec you completely ghosted.

It worked out absolutely fine for me since I got a much better paid job but just warned other people what to expect.

I don’t think any company specifies exactly the job requirements as there are many, especially as the job progresses. The point of the assignment is to see how well can you deal with new challenges.

Interestingly enough, other developers went through the assignment without any trouble way under 2 hours.

Glad it worked out for you. Not everyone is the right fit and I’m glad we found out earlier than later.

Good luck

Any chance of adding angel.co as a source too?

angel.co does not proivde an API and their job postings are hidden behind a login which requires significantly more work to scrape...

Oh, of course. Too bad.

Hey, can you elaborate whether you're hiring remote beyond Denmark/Hungary? The job descriptions don't mention it, but your first line does..

I applied to this company in 2016, and upon receiving their offer they suddenly said they were no longer interested in hiring remote. So my guess is, if you're 100% looking for remote, don't count on it with Airtame.

Hey guys, We are open to a fully remote option for some of the roles. For instance, C/C++ could be fully remote.
