The philosophy is flawed. Good people don't make average-for-their-area salaries. Depending on which of the 5-6 applicable job titles listed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics's Occupational Employment Statistics [0] one chooses to apply, my salary is between 40% and 120% higher than the "average mean wage" (itself an inflated statistic) in my area. This is true not just of myself but of all the good candidates I've hired. Good people don't work for average rates, especially not good people who are capable of doing remote work. GitLab is doing itself a big disservice by targeting the "average" local wage. [0] https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#15-0000 |
