Uhm I don't get it... Doesn't companies hire you for the value you generate?
Doesn't matter if I am in Mountain View or Cokeville WY, I still have the same experience, knowledge and capabilities.

There is no good way to measure the value generated by an individual engineer in most cases (in large enough companies), only the total/average value produced by a group of engineers - and even then, it's a first order approximation. Hence, the market is not efficient.
