&gt; Either the company competes and offers a high salary as well, or it just doesn&#x27;t get to hire developers from Silicon Valley. It&#x27;s basic supply and demand.<p>This statement is still correct and less loaded if you remove the words &quot;get to&quot;.<p>I have no idea why a fully-remote company would want their developers to live in Silicon Valley so much that they would pay a premium for it. Why even bother being fully-remote then?
