Indian employees say hi!

I feel like "pay me for my work" actually means "pay me the cost of living adjustment for a place I used to live."

likefunny

I mean, slightly clickbait title as usual

But most large tech companies are going to adjust pay if you were in SF and choose to move to SOuth Dakota and work remotely…

like

The salaries are not indicative of the skill set the employees possess the salaries are directly related to major corporations Iike google requiring individuals to live in very high priced metropolitan areas.

Essentially, they pay top dollar to get people to relocate and have the same cost of living they may have in a lower tax and COL state

If you opt to work outside of the city - you no longer command those rates

like

I do not understand the pay me for my work not my location comments - look at all the tech and finance jobs for the same exact position outside of the HCOL locations - think Chicago, DC, Texas, etc.

They get paid 10-20% less minimum and do the same exact job. You have always been getting paid extra for location - your true pay was always like 80-90% of what you got plus a location multiple. It’s common sense take that away and that extra adjustment goes away.

Capitalism dictates that pay will be the lowest possible amount that the company believes will maintain a desired attrition rate.

In that lens, this is hardly surprising.

like

Should it be that way? Imo, no. But this is where fundamental views of the economy will dictate potential solutions.

like

i think it’s understandable but they should’ve just grandfathered in old salaries imo

like

Then those salaried employees should be grandfathered into the fact that WFH is not allowed as well

like

Their base pay is not even that high, it’s their stocks that drive the Total Comp to be high. Reducing their base pay and already small bonuses seems unfair. The work doesn’t change just because you are remote, it’s the same skills and qualifications. Google saved $ on operation costs, let’s not pretend that employees moving are impacting their revenue, on the contrary, their profits grew.

Consulting firms like Deloitte and other companies pay same salary bands regardless of state where you live.

And alot of them require travel. Internal low travel positions are location based

This was inevitable and people pushing WFH forever should’ve seen it coming.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

I am expecting an offer from Master Card for Senior Software Engineer position in O Fallon MO. Please let me know what kind of base salary I can expect with 11 yrs experience . I don’t wanna undersell but also trying to avoid being aggressive but quote a decent number which will be achievable. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Is 125k $ base a fair value for or I can pitch higher? They have a 15 to 20 % bonus on top of base pay and a 10% match on 401k which the recruiter keep highlighting.

Copywriter with serious imposter syndrome at new job! How do senior writers up their game? Was in-house 1.5 years and underpaid in NYC. With only previous freelance experience (and nonprofit and grant writing before that) figured I had to slog through it for years. Cut to now, 6 months into a new copywriting role at huge tech company. My salary almost quintupled overnight. I think I’m doing great, but that depends on the day and who I work with (no other writers by the way).
