  I certainly don't think of my approach as amoral. Rather, I think it's not immoral to negotiate down a salary based on fair yardstick (COL). Annoying, perhaps, but not immoral. It's immoral to exploit your employees, lie to them, not keep to a contract, deny them the growth opportunities they were lead to believe they have etc. But to negotiate a lower pay, that's not immoral. As an employee, take it or leave it. To be clear, I'd love to get a SF salary and live in an Alpine valley in Italy or France. Maybe the world will come to that arrangement. But if not, I wouldn't call it immoral.

    It's not based on COL, though, it's based on what your company perceives as your peers in the new area. As pointed out in other threads, working in London will net you about 1/3 of the salary as SF, even though the COL is nearly the same.

  >To many people there is certainly a moral obligation to put in an honest effort how can you have a moral obligation to an entity that is itself amoral (a corporation)? >and pay fair wages i'm not gonna hedge this at all: there are no corporations that pay fair wages out of a moral obligation. if there were no minimum wage they would be the lowest that the market would bare (and the market is also amoral).

  Moral is subjective. There also many people that their is moral obligation to not put honest effort or pay fair wages.
