People doing the same work already are paid quite differently. Some negotiated better offers. Others joined at a lower share price for their RSUs. The variance in pay is quite high at many companies. Peer companies to Google also adjust based on zip code. And companies that pay the same regardless of location still don't pay as well as Google, which offers top of market compensation and has one of the strongest performing stocks in our industry. My point is the market reaction won't change the dynamics here.
