This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No, you don't pay us wages. You adjust for local CoL like every company on earth, or you wouldn't hire in Spain.

Even in a fantasy world where your company is a unique snowflake that pays 150k a year independent of location, those are a dozen jobs for a country of 50 million people.

As a note, my company, a fortune 50 company, does not adjust for cost of living. They adjust to cost of labor.

So if they were to magically hire overseas (not a thing they do), they would pay people from Spain average Spanish wages for the industry.

Yep, that is actually the correct term, cost of labor. I work for a smaller one (NASDAQ 100) and they do hire remote and do adjust for cost of labor.
