I am not from the US.
I applied to a completely remote job for an UK-based company with salary quoted as 90-110k pounds gross.
The offer I got was basically half that, which is LESS than what I get from a natively Bulgarian software service company.
When I inquired about it, they told me this is company policy and they adjust this to the person's cost of living.
When I told them I am disabled and have 2000e monthly spending just on medication I got ghosted.
How's that about 'cost of living'? How the hell do you know how much it costs for me to sustain my god forsaken body? What if I told you I live with rich parents, do you just slash my salary to zero because that's my cost of living?
But this company's logic is that, as soon as they figure someone is disabled and actually needs even more money than they'd pay UK employees, they ghost them.
Frankly, I would never work for a company that does this scummy crap but the point is I can do my job just fine from Bulgaria, and at the level the UK engineers will be able to, yet I get gimped haaaaaard for salary.
