According to Carta, most companies localize remote pay based on where you live. Gilt List helps you find the companies that are paying you for what you're worth to them instead of what it costs for you to live in your city.
Hi PH! This is a small side project of mine while I'm in between jobs. While I was on the hunt for remote jobs, I ran into a stark difference in companies - those that localized pay and those who didn't.
I heard from a few companies after multiple rounds of interviews that the comp range they gave me initially would be cut by 20% due to my location. I just accepted an offer with a company that doesn't localize, but I wasted a lot of time with a bunch that did.
While this is just a job board to help folks find companies that don't localize - I can't help but say that I feel like where you live shouldn't matter. So, Gilt List will help companies that uphold that philosophy. I moved from a high cost of living city to a lower one so I could afford a house. Since I could do the same work in the second city, I just didn't feel like I should have been given a 20% haircut as a result of moving!
