Location based salary has nothing to do with cost of living. It has to do with what your local labour market pays. I live in New Zealand - a gallon of petrol is $7.241 USD. A macbook air m2 is $1680.70 USD. Gitlab would not pay someone in NZ more than someone in the US because their cost of living is higher.
