Definitely. I'm not sure where you're from, but if you're working for a US firm they should be paying you US wages. I could understand if you were just contracting out piece work, but a VP engineering salary should be double that minimum. The employment market is really hot right now, so just spend some time seeing what's out there.

Some politicians abroad are bragging that their engineers are worth 50K less than the US in their sales pitch.

- emptysongglass 5y agoWhy? The company is US, they should pay you what they can bear to pay your peers in the US. SWEs are criminally underpaid in Europe. I should know, I am one. Most of my salary gets hoovered up before it reaches my pocket and the only "out" is paying a bucket load of my salary into a pension I can't enjoy until I'm almost dead.
