You've got to be wary of the cheapskate. In my experience, its traditional for american headquartered companies to view non-american workers as second class.

You are worth what someone is willing to pay and you will find someone whom is less ridiculous with a starting rate.

"If the people with the greatest innate love of and aptitude for programming are evenly distributed among the world's population, 95% of them are born outside the US."
