How fairer? If you take a pay cut, but the region to which you re-locate has a substantially lower cost of living, are you not, in effect, getting a raise? Sounds like a win for all parties involved (except the Bay area, of course).
- mytailorisrich 6y agoYou are not getting a raise, you are getting a pay cut. The company wins and tries to convince you that you also win because "cost of living is lower". You buy it at your perils. Also note that, in any case, once you have moved the company will then have an incentive to put the brake on salary increases because "you earn above the local area's average", which may further be an area will less opportunities. People move from lower income to higher income areas/countries for a reason, even if the cost of living also increases. That's because in the end you keep more in your pocket then can do what you want (e.g. once you've made your money you can move back to a lower income area and buy a huge mansion and enjoy).
