It's not about leveraging the lower cost of poorer countries that we do that, as we actually have most of our team living in high cost of life ones. Part of the explanation why we do it this way can be found here, https://slite.com/blog/lets-pay-our-remote-employees-fairly-..., happy to continue the discussion if you want to!

That's a good point, I'm glad you're raising it.

Indeed, we have a fair salary model but not a fair pricing (by country). But we have a fair billing policy (https://help.slite.com/en/articles/2008029-what-is-slite-s-f...) and most of our customers are global actors that earn money from high cost of living countries.

Hey, thanks for commenting--

> I think that's wrong, and just a way for the company to save as much money as possible. A fair salary should be a % of the $ value you create minus local taxes and expenses needed for your position(equipment, software, training...). TBH with you, 95% of our employees are paid on an index that above France (our HQ). So I'm not sure we pay less in the end.

> For example personally I don't plan in staying long in my current city/country. But if I accepted local salaries I would never be able to save enough to move comfortably. We aim at the 75th percentile of each market (based on an engineer role). I'm sure this would give you enough to move comfortably

> Also local purchasing power usually doesn't apply to objects(electronics, cars...) We index purchasing power on the monthly rent, which accounts for 30-60% of wage (depending on countries/cities).

I understand your opinions, and I don't really want to change that-- but I deeply appreciate you took the time to read and comment. Have a great day!

Please read again, it doesn't work for everyone. The TLDR from our own experience is that it's hard to make it work for juniors.

Remote workers looking for a job, or managers in a remote company.

While working at a company that builds an alternative to meetings, calls and office-friendly practices, I had lots of questions about "would this work for me?". Or people were saying "async seems promising, but I'm sure it's only for developers". This is untrue.

I take the design is not your taste, I'll pass this feedback to the team. Thanks Dimgl

Hey, thanks for taking the time to leave feedback on the post – harsh but I'll take it. I wanted to figure out a way to TLDR a blog piece we wrote about what profiles fit best in async environments, from our won experience. Seems like the format doesn't work well, I'll pass that to the team. Have a great day

The product is so early-stage that's a big commitment to be a user. But you're right. I'll try 1:1 outreach for users, definitely. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Teams we want to recruit: - 10+ employees - ideally software/service companies - early adopters with tech profiles - Geography doesn't really matter since they should be remote/async-first

On 1:1 outreach I thought about it, but I don't feel comfortable with that. That's a good call still. Have you ever had success with that?
