Reply to comment by armhad in Philadelphia among best cities for Gen Z by ColdJay64

Tech and tech adjacent companies in my experience. HashiCorp, for instance, would pay a Philly based worker on NYC salary bands because NYC is the nearest office and that’s how they calculate locality pay.

Tech is my experience too and I feel like I’ve not seen many places offer that structure outside of a few random startups or the few (but growing) number of places that have committed to no pay bands

Huh during my most recent job search (last winter) Amazon, CoinBase, HashiCorp, Puppet, and a handful of much less recognizable financial service firms were all up front about pay/benefits/etc. for remote work and while some of the pay bands, Amazon for instance, were roughly doubled by RSUs for devops roles everyone was offering ~$170k base which seems rather high for basing pay on Philly CoL.

Maybe it’s less common than I thought but I’m making the same amount as my NYC based colleagues.
