i think worldwide tech salaries may equalize pretty fast--doesn't make sense for companies to pay differently for the same work depending on where people live if everyone is remote anyway--and its going to have some pretty interesting effects

This is also why @deel is growing so fast. It now takes only minutes to onboard an employee in almost any country.

True. The cost for a US startup hiring a sr developer in Latam has gone from $30k to $120k USD in under 10 years. Same is true in many other markets.

@levelsio do you see this trend in NomadList and RemoteOK?

It’s going to follow the same path as globalization did. US workers will be replaced by others. Then the pressure starts mounting and when employers realize the laws don’t protect them from IP extraction and the rules of employment differ too much they start shifting back.

Even the jobs that aren't naturally remote should perhaps have more flexibility. Like if someone wants to do a job but it won't pay enough where they live, and standard of living would be acceptable elsewhere, they should have an option to move. Countries complicate things.

Yes this is already happening and will continue to normalize. Good for the world.

Any company that tries to lower an engineer's salary based on a move to a place with a lower cost of living will lose so much talent they will be forced to reverse the policy.

we’ve seen salaries for engineers outside US get much closer to parity in last year. one other variable creating parity within US is a number of expensive SF employees moving to lower cost cities and most startups not reducing their pay

Agreed. stellate.co/blog/one-job-one… @SueOdio

One Job, One Pay

We’ve made a bold decision not to anchor pay to employees' physical location, no matter where they are in the world. We're calling this “One Job, One Pay” (OJOP).
