Ask HN: Are companies averse to hiring remote developers from the Bay Area?

I guess looking at it from a different angle, as a bay area dev are you going to accept a long term position that comes with an 80k compensation package?

If in your cover letter you were to indicate that you would entertain a long term commitment at a rate typical with that of the remote company's on premise employees. Perhaps you would get more interest. Just a thought.

Best of luck on your job search. For good measure you might post your core skills here. You never know who is going to read this...

We hire remote, but don’t target expensive areas in our recruiting. However, we won’t turn down a good candidate based on location (as long as you’re in the US). If your resume looks good, a short call with our recruiter will get us on the same page regarding comp. We are competitive, but not with FAANG.
