      You work on the internet, my God

      Half our team is from Spain and we pay us wages.

      Don’t be silly, market abroad

        No, you don’t pay us wages. You adjust for local CoL like every company on earth, or you wouldn’t hire in Spain.

        Even in a fantasy world where your company is a unique snowflake that pays 150k a year independent of location, those are a dozen jobs for a country of 50 million people.

          As a note, my company, a fortune 50 company, does not adjust for cost of living. They adjust to cost of labor.

          So if they were to magically hire overseas (not a thing they do), they would pay people from Spain average Spanish wages for the industry.
