Yes, people who do the same work should be paid differently based on where they live. It makes complete sense.

sorry it's not the same work and most of the time no where close to same effort. there are timezone, culture, language, and many other differences that have to be bridged so when I can hire an engineer in the US for $200k and an international engineer for $200k (with all of the differences), the reality is, i'm going to hire a US engineer doing the "same work".
