Edit: Fair enough. There are companies that pay everyone SF level salaries but you can also find companies like Gitlab - 100% Remote but they explicitly downscale from SF salaries based on location.

Some stats:
- Not just "Remote but in the US"
- 1,000+ employees
- 40+ countries
- Local holidays
- Co-working Space stipend, if you want it
- Almost nobody goes to the offices we do have
- Everything is written down and x/referenced: GH, email, Slack
- Zoom for face to face
- Engineering All Hands: Usually twice a year, once EU, once US
- You work on your own Timezone, expecting otherwise is ridiculous
My point wasn't to say that Stripe should do one thing or the other regarding location-adjusted alaries. I was asking the previous commenter why he indignant that the question be asked of Stripe at all, as if it were irrelevant.
