#12The list says Spotify but when you click on the "Source" for that it is an article about Shopify...
Classic mistake, even worse for me IRL, I worked at both of these companies simultaneously! But, both are indeed going remote.

Re: List of companies going full remote after Covid
#14If you want to remain an IC then remote is probably the best option, but if you want to climb up into a leadership role I don’t really see how you get there in a remote role.
Also Facebook’s admission that salary will be tied to cost of living wherever you choose to live sets a bad precedent. Anyone who thought they could just keep their Bay Area salary is going to be disappointed, and it gives cover to every other company thinking of going remote to do the same.
I’m also wondering how easy it would be to change jobs once you go remote. The benefit of being in the Bay is that the number of companies is so high that it makes it easy to interview if you’re looking for a change. While possible to interview remotely it’s much more difficult since the number of companies open to that is still small.

Gitlab pretty publicly has the same pay system in terms of living area with a direction relation to pay.

True cost of living is such a nebulous thing to calculate no matter how meticulous the data source is.

Facebook didn’t set this precedent, GitLab did with their Salary Calculator years ago [1].

I don’t get why the pay adjustment is so controversial. Facebook (and Google, and Apple, etc.) already have offices throughout the world, and they already set pay based on the local market and cost of living. Not sure why “remote work” independent of an office should be any different, or why this is surprising?
