I know you alone can’t do anything about this, but the longer this painful task is put off, the more difficult will be to rectify as Gitlab grows (more people = greater labor cost expense increase when the problem is addressed).
The market for engineer salaries is much higher, due to the demand. But the cost of living is very low, by comparison.
I've been complaining about this for a while, but it's one of those things that we can't just vote on and change the whole company salary structure.
