> I know there are some arguments like costs of living, but why it should be even considered? It's totally up to you where do you live. I think that matters because it lowers the wage you can put up with. Thinking from an employer perspective, assuming non-specialist skills, it's more costly to work with someone remote in a different timezone (b/c communication difficulties, etc), so they'd only do that if they can push your wage low enough so they come out ahead with the extra costs vs. a local developer. They also like money, so if they can push your wage down further than that, they'll try.
