“Location-Based Pay” – Who are we to complain?

I think there’s poor reasoning on all sides. Plenty of employees that want to make SF market salaries while living in Thailand talk about the value of their work. Whether or not those claims are accurate they are irrelevant.

Employees have no more reason to be concerned about the value of their work to employers than employers have to be concerned about the value of their pay to employees.

If you want to be logical about it the only thing that matters is the market. But both sides try to bring in irrelevant arguments in hopes of getting leverage in negotiations. Sometimes it even works!

Employees are a marketing asset and powered by a SV dev team is more marketable compared to a dev team. Many companies are funded / sold by the value of their employees.

There isn't one market. A remote SV developer should be able to command more if they can sell a connection to SV. Same for a FAANG company.. you can get paided more for being associated with a faang
