How are big tech companies approaching salary for core jobs that used to be in the Bay Area but are now remote (North America wide)? Do they scale it based on city you live in?

Most companies have identified pay ranges for every role in major cities. Salaries are adjusted up or down based on where you fall within the range.

Scale. I think I took a $35K pay cut vs living in the bay area. It's a good deal. It would cost me way more than 35k to have the standard of living in the bay area.

They typically have tiers depending on the city/metro area and corresponding pay for each tier.

It scales based on the city/general area you live in, whether you are remote or hybrid.

Search a bit on google and you’ll find plenty of examples (and many being upset).

Some smaller companies (Eg Reddit) have all pay tied to HCOL rates and equal wherever but the biggest tech companies don’t seem to be doing this.

Yeah, there are Tiers and your salaray range falls within the Tiers your city falls into

Yes, most companies scale it based on city

Depends on the company, but most adjust based on COL.

Hi! I need some help negotiating a raise. I have been working for this company for exactly 3 months now, but I was hired as an AGM. I'm not specific on what my responsibilities are as AGM.
However the GM at the time, quit 1 and a half months in. I was thrown into the role and have been handling it since.
My regional calls himself our GM but is never on site.
Was reluctant to cover my shifts when I became sick and requested time off for a few days. (4 days)
Any thoughts?
