Okay. Where do you live, and why do you deserve 10x more than someone who lives in India or eastern Europe?

  In this case the people in India and Eastern Europe deserve to be paid more, not the other way around.

  From my experience just being in the same time zone delivers a lot of value. For certain tasks it’s fine to have people in a time zone 10-12 hours off but in many other cases it causes a lot of communication delay and overhead.

  If they live in the continental U.S., one can argue that higher wage is at least based on not having to deal with annoyingly scheduled meetings because of disparate time zones.

  No one deserves anything, they deserve it if they can convince an employer to pay them that much. Theres no rule stopping SF employers from paying 50k for software engineering positions in the area.
