Newsflash-- the "market" is becoming less constrained by geography.
- pc86 4y agoPointless snark aside, this is correct. But it is still constrained by geography and it's not all that surprising that employers would like to constrain it a bit more than it is. So this move makes total sense, and pretending that there is no correlation between your location and what you can command in salary is farcical.
- rrdharan 4y agoWhy would you think that puts upward rather than downward pressure on wages?
- brianwawok 4y agoRight. So salary will trends towards rural Montana salary not SF or Seattle salary.
- selfmodruntime 4y agoOnce US employers give up on the idea of office work entirely and start looking into cheap east European developers, you‘ll be in for a world of hurt. I can‘t deny their expertise and quality of work, and they‘re starting to constantly outbid anyone on work for hire platforms
- weberer 4y agoAnd how do you think that will affect SF and Seattle salaries?
- eddieroger 4y agoSeemingly not if companies are moving back to in-person. Can't be in person at Amazon in Montana.
