We all take what we can get, don’t we? Are we really interested in fairness and equitable compensation or is it that these wide ranges are just more visible now that everyone’s salaries are pretty much accessible and widely known Question is can we (the collective we) get the same piece of that pie when everyone is global and remote based on merit alone- various forms of protectionism will conspire against this.. I know some excellent software engineers making 15$ per hour because they are stuck in India and I know folks with same talent making 200$ per hour for some US consulting firms because that’s what they can get out of them.. Fair? No - understandable yes- free market? Not quite - yes cost of living makes one persons 15$ Per hour worth more than another’s but it is unfair - I’m US based engineer applying for FAANG companies now that I can work remotely from the south and hoping for a compensation bump - it’s not in my interest for those jobs to go “offshore” to top talent in Poland or India (just what does Offshore mean anyway in todays world?)
