Going rate for someone in India that is as good as me is about 60% of my pay. So if they are making 1/3 as much as me they are not as good as me (though not 1/3)
Ah, totally not an inflated sense of self worth... do you have a source for that number? New grad salaries for even graduates of top CS programs in India are between 1/4th and 1/3rd of $100k [1]. For most other good graduates it's lower.
So what you said is incredibly ignorant and arrogant. Do better. You're not as special as you think.

Grasping at straws here.
> I have many years of experience, and a history of being worth paying
Seems like your ego can't handle it. Why do you think that there aren't similar people elsewhere in the world? You can't keep throwing random numbers without sources to back them up. The reality is that your job can be done by many others living in a country with lower COL with much, much less money.
I know col is better in India, that isn't as big a deal as you think because once you get past food and housing to luxuries to buy things are more expensive there. (Except servants are dirt cheap, while I wouldnt dream of one here )
Then why isn't it being done by them already? Do you think companies hate saving money and just prefer to throw it away on more expensive employees who aren't any better?
Someone has an inflated self worth and ego issues but it's not the guy you're responding to.
And I don't know what your problem is, I was merely pointing out the parent commentator was very wrong with the salary numbers they provided, which shows disconnect with reality. I never said that all jobs can and will go remote. Read my comments again, properly this time.
