Agreed! I hope there's no bias and racism in any tech companies. We must value camaraderie for every nationalities.

How do you see it considering taxes and cost of living?
It's really weird discussion, salary is a product of market, market is different from country to country...

It is an odd discussion. I was being overly simple with my general statement before. A business has workers to maintain the market presence which they inhabit. By saying that a business can make compromises for workers that operate in a lower rate market they are merely maximizing profit potentials within the business' own market. This portrays a profit-first business mentality.

In short, regardless of the market that the employee occupies the business must have the staff they are employing to be successful within their own market, meaning they should be able to facilitate the expenditure of that market.
