It seems odd that places in very low COL areas, particularly internationally, are getting 3-4x median salary for the same role, while places in rural/suburban US will be at or just slightly above median for that geo area.
I can't talk for Spain in particular but keep in mind that employer's social contributions can be pretty hefty in Europe. And working remote for an american company is opening a bag of hurt regarding taxes and banking.
For instance that guy making $128k in Montpellier in France, that's €108k right now. Assuming he works 45 weeks that's a daily rate of 480€. Not crazy for an experienced developer.
