Well it's fair that your payment is adapted to the cost of living in your country/area.

- lamontcg 4y agoNo it isn't. You're doing the same work. It is fair to get paid the same for the same work.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoDo people pay plumbers the same in SF as they do in Charlotte? As an employee I want to be paid the highest that anyone else is paid for the same work. More so if the value generated is the same regardless of location. Yet I can understand employers wanting to help maintain sustainable communities, even where cost of living is high. Governments too want some control over their currencies and its value.
- lamontcg 4y agoI don't desperately need to have understanding for governments or corporations. They can all take care of themselves without my help.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoMy point is it's a collective concern too. Because without coordinating all prices globally there will be variance in costs of living. Which could price out lower valued jobs from certain areas entirely.
- RestlessMind 4y agoI live in Silicon Valley and had to pay a plumber 150USD just to visit and fix a small problem. Do you pay a plumber in your area 150USD (in local currency) for 30min of work? If not, why not?
- emptysongglass 4y agoYes in Denmark it can be even higher than this. So Danes are being compensated (it's actually much less than SV programmers: I'm getting a take home of 81k a year for senior) but are paying more for plumbers. This is one hundred percent a problem of exploitation and cultural expectations and needs to change.
