I don&#x27;t understand the downvotes here. Results are results. I can understand paying a person more if you are worried about providing a living wage, but really you are paying them to do a service for the company.<p>If you are looking at two remote candidates offering to do the same work, the fact that one lives in India and the other in Paris should not make a difference in what you pay them (well, timezone difficulties aside). You should pay well for good work, and if it&#x27;s not going to be good work you shouldn&#x27;t pay at all. &#x27;Pay well&#x27; is not relative to where a person lives, it&#x27;s relative to the market value of that work.
