Everybody's saying, oh, we pay the same in San Francisco.

Why?

Why do you do that?

That's because cost of employment matters.

This is proper data that's been based on all of our analysis of where we hire.

This is what it costs us to employ somebody in France versus the UK, which means that not all salaries are equal as far as the employer is concerned.

Taxes vary widely, benefits vary widely, but also what it costs to the employee.

So this again, compound of income tax and social security contributions for our employees.

So it's very expensive for somebody who live in Portugal, but I love Portugal.

Have you ever been?

It's beautiful.

So I'm not saying that they don't have a good life, but it does definitely cost them.

The point about all of that is that you can still be above market rate in terms of your salaries and compare it to Glassdoor, even if you're not going to do this sort of the six figure, you know, massive Facebook style, Airbnb style salaries.

So this is you can book me rates of pay.

So we do pretty well.

We're not saying that, you know,

You're going to get rich by working for a salary for You Can Book Me.

But we are saying that there is some logic here, which means that people should be able to benefit.

And that is to do with that pay ratio.

So that's the same data, but put into a slightly different context.
