I am seeing YC startups hiring for supposedly in-demand roles (e.g. Senior TypeScript, Senior ML) and offering 50-80k$/year.
This sounds very low to me, even if those are fully remote positions. As far as I know, this salary wouldn't attract strong talent even in medium cost-of-living countries (like Portugal/Spain).
Anyone has more insights around this decision? For example:
- Are they targeting extremely low-cost of living countries? Have they seen more success with that strategy?
- Will globalisation finally equalize developer salaries across the globe?
- Do they offer something else which is unusually attractive?

Intrigued to learn more.
