Why should the cost of living dictate what you are worth? If you have a skill and they pay someone (x) amount in the US it should pay the same anywhere. If you live in an area that has a low cost of living, all the better. This is one of the largest scams placed on developers. We have skills, not locations! Those skills should pay the same regardless of where the task is performed. Developers though, have been greedy and did not care what happen to others as long as "they" made a good living. So, there has been no organizations to stop the rapid slide of wage, only stupidity to fuel it! If the developers of the world would actually unite, all would benefit and salaries would remain high for everyone. But of course, this will never happen because developers have let the large corporations con then into believing they have no value, that they should appreciate the chance to even work. What a JOKE! The developers of this world OWN tech and without them it would come to a crashing hault. .. Opps .. There I go again..
