> the engineering salaries are significantly lower than I would've expected for a well known startup in the Bay Area.

While some of them do work overseas, Buffer employees should note they're drastically underpaid for Silicon Valley, NYC, or even LA salaries. If they didn't know this before, they should now. Any mid-level dev with decent skills would start around 110-120k before benefits in a highly competitive job market. I know because I hire and offer these salaries right now.

Anyone heading customer service would be in a tier within the rest of customer service, capped at around 90k. This is especially true for a small startup where their duties aren't managing a huge customer service team but rather playing the role of basically another customer service rep.
