  It's not just location that warps salary. I've worked with plenty of people senior to me that contributed less than me but got paid more. The only solution I've found is to change jobs

    How do you judge ‘contributed less’? More senior people generally have more skill and a better understanding of the product, making them more able to make decisions that carry much more value to the business than labor from non-senior employees

      The perception that YOE == skill matters far more than people would care to admit.

        Senior is a title that conveys ability. Ability is more important than YOE.

  because you're not being paid on your input, markets don't run on the labour theory of value. You're being paid for the lowest amount that you, or someone else, is willing to do your job, and that amount happens to be lower in a place with lower cost of living. people earn more in San Francisco because the rent is a gazillion dollars and if they got paid Indian wages nobody would show up at the office.

    > people earn more in San Francisco because the rent is a gazillion dollars It's actually the other way around. Rent is a gazillion dollars because people are paid so much and the housing supply is very limited.
