That's quiet a high salary you currently get. Usually when foreign companies hire developers in India, they do it to reduce costs(for what you get, your company could easily hire 5 really good developers, or 10 good ones). I'm guessing that your company believes that compensation should be based on what they believe the developer is worth and what they are willing to pay, instead of where the developer lives.

$250k/year is probably twice the median salary for a developer in SF. Yes it's not quiet the same as it would be in India, but still is pretty good. I personally would take it, just because I feel it's a better place to live and work.

To put it into perspective, Google pays it's CFO a base salary of $650K a year. Of course there are bonuses, and stock options that make it much more than that, but I doubt you'll get anywhere close to what the converter says.
