> Companies attempting to pay an engineer according to location, in my opinion, is another kind of discrimination. You are supposed to pay an employee based on his/her abilities, not her location.
So you’re saying, we should be paying engineers in Europe and in the US the same as an engineer in LATAM or India or Asia that has the same level of experience and skill.
The only way to be non discriminatory is to have a standardized formula of compensation that takes into account cost of living (rent, food, healthcare, taxes etc) where the final take home pay in locations around the world are equivalent - which I believe should be the case at most companies
