All of this talk about what companies should pay is missing the point. The market determines what salaries will be. Someone good enough for Facebook is good enough for a number of bay area companies that would pay top dollar, so Facebook has to make competitive offers. If someone lives in a place where she doesn't have access to those other high offers, then she should expect to make somewhat less. It has nothing to do with what people deserve or their value to the company.
