When you decide the work modality for a tech role on Get on Board, you are also choosing which salary market you compete in. Remote, hybrid, and on-site roles do not pay the same, and matching your range to the wrong benchmark either overpays or scares candidates off.
Why modality changes the range
- Fully remote competes in a broad, often USD-denominated market. Candidates can compare your offer against employers anywhere, so the range is higher and less tied to any one country.
- On-site is anchored to local cost of living and the local talent pool. The range follows the country, not the region.
- Hybrid sits in between, weighted toward the location of the office and the expected on-site days.
A simple decision framework
- For on-site or hybrid roles, use country-specific benchmarks — local cost of living drives expectations.
- For fully remote roles, use the broader regional benchmark, since you are competing across borders.
- Decide modality before the range, not after. The modality sets which market you are in.
If you are still choosing a modality, see which remote modality you can select.
