  > The whole point is if you live in say India you'll be paid a rate as the same skilled person in India. I mention the passport issue because, for most people in the world, it's not possible to relocate to San Francisco and put yourself in the high salary bracket. So you're stuck with whatever someone in the SF HQ thinks is a "good salary" in India. Realistically the best performers will go elsewhere and I expect that companies that employ this kind of model will be unable to compete for talent, but it's still frustrating to watch them underpay people in the meantime. As for the skin tone issue, it's not a factor in what they pay, but the end result is undeniably split along racial lines due to local demographics. I mention this because many of these companies spend a lot of PR time talking about inclusiveness and workplace equality and then set up systems that underpay foreigners.
