My company located in SF just made the decision to be a remote first company where everyone is remote with the office being a collaboration space only. I just started with the company 5 months ago and was hired remotely and live outside of the Bay Area. With this change they are still paying everyone based on their location. “Bay Area” includes areas that are cheaper cost of living than my location yet they will get the SF pay. Is this the normal approach? Should I raise concern?

Incorrect approach.

You get paid for your skill.. your perspective.. the value you bring. NOT where you live.

I’m guessing you’re gonna have a tough time fighting what is a normal and widespread company pay policy. I’d either move or look for a new job if the location pay scale is a big problem for you.

It depends on who the company is, what is their history, and what company culture been like or known to be? Is this permanently how they are going to operate? They are opposed to Facebook, which is paying based on where their workers decide to live.

is this an agency?

Is your area much cheaper?
