Some studies suggest happiness per dollar salary peaks around $65k to $90k USD. So for an international corporation where obviously most people will have cheaper cost of living than the United States, that seems a good starting point. This is low for Silicon Valley salaries so it may dissuade those accommodated to salaries in that high range.

This isn't how any of this works. You're completely ignoring the rest of the job market. "It may dissuade" - no, you're moving your operations abroad with extra steps.

For Los Angelrs such a happiness per dollar will only buy you homelessness when average rent is $4000 a month and suppose you have family obligations
