That is the case in the vast majority of tech companies, though. They (almost) all have something like a "regional adjustment", "location based" or other classification for salaries in different areas. Some are more extreme than others. The company I work for (it's a relatively well-known tech company) certainly has it, and I know Google and other FAANGs do, too.
