Has anyone else noticed that jobs that are advertised as remote on sites like weworkremotely pay substantially less than regular on-site jobs?

Whereas if you start a position on-site, do well, gain the trust of the employer and then go remote, then I can believe the argument of the article.

I guess that depends what your base line is. While SV is over-represented here, it's only a tiny fraction of the global developer market. The salary of many remote jobs could exceed local levels for the vast majority while being significantly below SV levels.
