Salary Career Tips Remote Work
Remote compensation is a hot topic. Some companies pay based on where you live (cost of living), while others pay a flat rate globally.
Before negotiating, find out if the company uses location-based tiers. Platforms like Buffer publicly share their salary formulas.
During negotiations, pivot the conversation away from your cost of living and toward the value you bring to the company. Your output is the same whether you live in New York or Jakarta.
If they can't meet your salary request, ask for extra PTO, a home office stipend, or budget for co-working spaces.
