Is flat-rate remote pay actually fair? Our new remote hire living in Ohio is making the exact same base salary as me, and I’m paying Manhattan rent. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for him, but my cost of living is literally double his. My company claims they don't do geographic localized pay, which sounded great during onboarding, but now I feel like I'm being financially penalized for living near the actual headquarters.

I have been contemplating this question this weekend. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have thoughts? If you have a job you love and you are a little under paid, would you take a new job for a 30% raise or stay where you are content and happy?

Due to an acquisition, my employer is switching me from hourly to salary. How do I advocate for myself?

How much of a comp increase would you need to move from a great leader? I’m looking at an internal role and the role and comp are great, the leader is good but definitely not on par with my current leader. I don’t want to make a mistake and end up miserable.

Are people generally aware of how much Big Tech engineers (or even non-engineers) get paid? I told a friend that I work at Google and he offered me a job at his company paying 1/3 what I am being paid. I am just confused at this point, lol...
