I didn't get the job when I interviewed, but I think it was really cool they pay you, imo, I pretty fair price for their take home tasks.

Commenting to do my part of internet slacktivism to make compensation for take home assessments more common.

>>bill_d+(OP)
You use Perl for the backend? That's... Interesting

Does equal pay for everyone work out? I think it's a great idea, I just believe that it would lead to very good pay for people in cheaper countries and bad pay for people in more expensive locations? I mean if someone in London, New York or Munich could live from the wage, it must be a huge salary for someone in rural India? I wonder if this is fair (same skills, same pay) or unfair (lack of equal opportunity depending on location).

>>Gasp0d+O43
One pay rate for equivalent skill levels seems like the fairest way to let people choose the lifestyle in the location they want.

And keep in mind, this applies both ways. If you currently live in a high cost of living area, nothing about this policy prevents you from taking that high wage and moving to a lower cost of living area and similarly benefitting.

I think having that choice is a great thing.

Hi Wanted to check if you already took down the senior DS role? I don't see the opening for senior data scientist anymore.

>>bill_d+(OP)
Applied for principal SRE role recently. Wondering if someone it?

>>bill_d+(OP)
What is your re-apply policy? If any?

>>logica+JK3
It's good for some people but really it just means that if you have already put down roots in a location like San Francisco, New York or London then you'll have to look elsewhere for a job that pays more.

>>lhnz+V2l
Yea if you live in the most expensive places on the planet it might be a bit of a problem. But then again you can probably deal with it since you can afford to put down roots there in the first place.
