Maybe a bit of an expat bubble? But where I am some new big players have come in and are paying significantly more (50-100%) than the approximate market rate for very experienced people. The absolute numbers (when converted to appropriate currencies) are comparable to what people can get in native English speaking countries. Some companies do try and adjust for cost of living differences, meaning they offer less here versus some other more expensive locations, but that opens up another can of worms.
