Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year?

Assuming the same job's quality, a possible answer is "because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year"

“because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year”

How do people live in these areas without making $200k/year?

[-] gian@lemmy.grys.it 3 points 3 months ago

They cannot, that is the reason you need to pay that much to work for you.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

So nobody lives in these areas that makes under $200k/year?

Even the janitors?

I don't know, but if they live there, I think they have it that good.

It is more (way more) probable that they just commute far enough away from there to have lower housing cost
