I think that the salary should not be a percentage of your life cost rather of the value you create.

Therefore the salary should stay the same wherever I am located.

Salaries are fine as they are...it is based by the value you provide to the company, multiplied by a factor depending on where you live.

If we do what the egocentric people here want "pay me 250k a year because that's what I'm worth" then only USA based companies would do software and everyone else in the world would be growing tomatoes (as they seem to think).

How would a company in India compete with that?

If you are earning a silicon valley salary and pretend to move anywhere in the world and keep your salary because "that's what I'm worth" I have two news for you: 1) it won't happen, companies are not stupid. 2) you have a big ego problem.
