That is just not true.

Are they paying 250k base in London? They weren't a few years back, and therefore they pay based on the market.

The London thing is even funnier because they claim to want top talent, but refuse to benchmark against actual top-talent companies in London (i.e. finance).

It's just nonsense, and if some of this gets disrupted by remote work then I (as someone getting screwed by the current system) will be all for it.
