They have to offer more because nobody would work in a job that doesn't pay the bills.

- mikeash 11y agoHuh? The question is what happens when you move from an expensive place to a cheap place. If your bills go down, should your pay go down?
- iopq 11y agoOf course, because your local competitors pay out less. Everyone in a cheaper place gives a smaller salary. Even inside the US, Texas pays less than Silicon Valley. If you move to Texas, and your company says "we will pay you less because of your location" you can't really argue against that logic. Because if you tried to find a job in Texas, you'd get paid the same amount your old company is offering you.
