I have heard about the idea twice during two job interviews. And I closed negotiations immediately. The reason why:
These companies reps told they do it, to prevent inequalities. However this is a straight in your eyes lie. If I will go to Apple in my country, they won't sell it to me two times cheaper that in the US.
But the most important issue for me:
With proper salary I can invest where I live. I can hire people. Create jobs, support for foundations, pay more taxes.
All of this combined helps to lower inequality. When I have to earn less because I am from poor country, it just cements the inequality.
That is why I consider it an offensive lie, and an immediate deal breaker. Actually such companies are immediately blacklisted by me.
Because what they really say is that they want to hire me not because of my skill, but because I am cheap person from a cheap country.
It is not only about me. But also about employees from their countries. How should I feel if a company explicitly tells that it will fire local skilled professional to replace him with cheaper me. He has family too. It is not kind of a deal that interests me at all.
