I’ve been thinking about remote-first pay. Do companies pay differently by country for the same roles? If HQ is abroad but I’m in the U.S., what should I expect in salary talks?

For those at companies based in another country, how does your company handle pay?

100% there is a huge difference in pay for US employees vs Asia/EU etc.
The tax structures, cost of living, benefits, and culture all impact pay. As a US employee you’re pretty much guaranteed to be making more, just as a base, than European counterparts.
You also have to account for the tradeoffs. In the US you’re paying for healthcare, retirement, and tax structures vary widely across states. In most places in Europe a lot of their basics are already covered. The cost of getting a US education is also factored into some salaries.

VP1 - that’s good. Mane they’ve created that culture to rest. Some companies value the extra hours more. I personally leave and don’t check my email. My boss is okay with all that.

All I can say is that pay and tax liability is based on where you live. You should be paid based on your skills and experience and your location. What any company does is anyone’s guess. In general they try to pay as little as possible, probably even less if it’s 100% remote.

Probably true. We don’t really ever know what any company actually bases their pay on.

Absolutely yes. Even us based companies play differently for European offices

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
