Really cool system.

>If you move, your compensation won’t change. Starting in June, we’ll have single pay tiers by country for both salary and equity.

I wonder how that will look like in practice, countries differ enormously in required pay for a decent living, especially within the US. Wouldn't states/regions for a few countries work better?

> You can move anywhere in the country you work in and your compensation won’t change. Starting in June, we’ll have single pay tiers by country for both salary and equity. If your pay was set using a lower location-based pay tier, you’ll receive an increase in June.

I wonder how this will change things for companies like Figma, which allow full remote, but pay remote workers less.

What they are saying is if you move to a different country, your salary will absolutely change.

If this is the future, salaries will come down, and people will move to smaller cities.

CoL will come down in California too. You won’t have the rich highly concentrated around the best job centers anymore and that will pull down the CoL in those places.
