Pay everyone more than they deserve because the CEO is probably still making 100x that amount.

I think it should be mostly based on experience. With that said, a remote worker can be a win-win as the company might be able to pay them a little less than a local employee and they might get more than their local market.

Follow up question. Should someone living in a cheap suburb make less than someone living downtown in that same market?

Much trickier question. I was only speaking to the easier to answer suburb vs downtown question.

I guess whatever the SF firm and Idaho worker agree to is probably what's fair. There's a tendency to think this screws over the SF workers, but I'd argue much less top talent lives in Idaho so the firm takes on risk with a brute force approach.

I think location should be a contributing factor to salary especially in HCOL cities

I agree. It def has to be factored in.

If office rent, consumer rent and housing prices vary between New York and Richmond, I don't see why salaries wouldn't.

Absolutely, especially if you're commuting.

If the industry went fully remote, not necessary. If people can live wherever they want the cost of living in the populated cites will drop.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
