Of course, there are two correct answers: those employees able to negotiate away their location having any relevance to their pay, and those who due to hierarchy position or lack of negotiating skills have their pay pro-rated against their location and potentially a giant host of additional factors beyond the employee's control. The course of action is clear: learn to negotiate.

I think learning to negotiate is second to selling something which you have multiple buyers to choose from and few competing sellers. If that’s not the case, you won’t be able to negotiate in the first place, and you need to figure out something else to sell.
- bsenftner 6y agoThere is a lot more to negotiation than the multiple buyers scenario.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoNot unless either party has the ability to walk away, which means multiple buyers. If I’m a buyer and I know you have no other options, why would I negotiate?
- bsenftner 6y agoIf one has no options and they treat the other party with an acknowledged lack of options, the poorly treated party can undermine the dominate party through publicity and peer shaming. There are many options for the individual trained in negotiation, and walking away for other options is the most primitive and least effective maximization strategy.
