I completely agree... It is even worse if you live on latin america. The really sad part is when you take into consideration that programming and CS jobs in general are one of the jobs on which you can generate the same value being on-site or at the other end of the world. So in theory there is no reason why you couldn't do the same thing someone in the US is doing and get paid the same amount. Oh well, such is life...

>programming and CS jobs in general are one of the jobs on which you can generate the same value being on-site or at the other end of the world. This is one of those things that seems like it should be true in principle, but doesn't seem to be true in practice. I don't believe my employer is generous. I'm certain if they could generate the same value for a significantly lower cost they would.

Being local and together on the same team discussing the same problems from the same location can have a multiplier effect on the productivity of a project. In particular for complex domain-driven industries. Our job as engineers is to translate domain-specific problems into solutions through code. There's a lot of context there that can be lost in translation across borders.
