Other Zapier co-founder here.

Are we competitive with Google engineering salaries? Probably not. But most Bay Area startups can't complete with Google on comp anyway.

Are we competitive with other Bay Area startup salaries? Likely. Six-figure engineering salaries, healthcare, retirement package, etc is the norm.

We saw several great teammates move away from the Bay Area and thought there might be others. This experiment is primarily to find people who already want to leave (for good reasons) but feel stuck because they like working for growing tech companies.
