Remote vs Onsite Enablement Salary
Does working remotely cost you money in enablement? We compared 28 remote roles against 87 onsite/hybrid positions.
The Remote Pay Gap in Enablement
Onsite and hybrid enablement roles pay approximately 39% more than fully remote positions at the median. The remote median of $90K compares to $126K for onsite roles.
This gap reflects several factors: onsite roles skew toward higher-cost metros (New York, San Francisco, Seattle), where companies adjust for cost of living. Remote roles draw from a national talent pool, which compresses salaries toward the national average. Additionally, some employers apply geographic pay adjustments that reduce remote compensation.

Should You Negotiate Remote Pay?
The gap narrows at senior and director levels where companies compete for scarce talent regardless of location. If you are negotiating a remote enablement offer, benchmark against metro-specific data for the company's HQ location, not national averages. Many companies set remote bands based on headquarters or tier-based geographic zones.
