It's probably surprising because most companies design compensation programs that are normalized on [talent and geography] rather than talent alone. Sounds like your company has a more holistic approach and that's likely a strategic advantage for hiring.

Side note: SFO is the airport, SF is the city.

I'm used to calling metro areas by their major airport callsign, then again I fly 2-3 times a month, minimum.

Fair enough, as long as you don't tag us SQL :)

(SQL is the IATA and FAA identifier for San Carlos Airport, near the Oracle headquarters half way between San Francisco International (SFO) and Palo Alto (PAO))

Correct... but there was also a bad joke in there.

[FabHK]

Oh, good joke, just wanted to make sure everyone got the double entendre (I assume everyone here knows Structured Query Language, but San Carlos is a fairly small airport, isn't it)

[dkfmn]

Yes, completely tiny, but great if you'd like to rent a Cessna for a few hours. I'm sure the extra detail helped a few people :)
