Why are the specific cities so random? I love seeing more cities than just SF and NYC in bracket one but Group B is so weird and is missing other cities that are just as expensive from a COL perspective. Im thinking of Charlotte, Tampa, Jacksonville, Oahu, Salt Lake, Dallas, etc
To simplify this companies need to start paying consistently for remote work. COL is a choice when working remote and salary bands should be anchored in the tier 1 or 2 range and then workers get a choice of where to live and spend their money. An additional $38k a year can be live changing for some and it shouldn’t matter where you live to get it.
This money affects families now and into the future if they do decide to move to a HCOL area. #business
