My colleagues here in the Netherlands do make the same, whether they are living in Amsterdam or a small village. So I guess location based pay is also about where you draw some lines. Anyway, if my boss would tell me I'd be getting less when I move to somewhere cheaper, I'd say: Ok, bye! Next job. In another country, hmm, not so sure.
