Yup, as a hiring manager I lost a couple of good hires due to the comp calculator. Especially in markets, like where I live.

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.

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).

It’s peope ops debt.
