> If you find yourself in a situation where your current salary might be at risk due to recent relocation then hopefully the following write-up can help you to negotiate equal pay for equal work. It is a curated list of relevant points to formulate a strong argument why one should receive the same or perhaps an even better pay for the same work carried out from a remote position.
I think this article would be more helpful when negotiating if it also included the arguments from the employers point of view and how to respond to those. The most important point being: "The market price for developers in your situation/area is X".
I also find the argumentation a bit inconsistent: The first section is "Same value, same pay", but then later it is "Higher cost, higher pay". Now what is it? Is your pay determined by the value you provide or the cost you have? Or is it a combination? If so, how do you balance it? Should "Lower cost" (e.g. no longer paying for commute) also lead to "lower pay"?
