I'm a staff engineer with almost 10 years of experience working on projects that successfully saved 500k+ dollars annually. Last week I finished interviews with a well-known tech company that I would love to work for. The problem is that they made me a really low offer (45k annually) because I live in a "low-cost country". I am currently making double than that and I even have another offer for 10% more than my current salary.
The position is for senior IC and I would love to work there because the work is super interesting and would look very well in my resume. However, the company says they can't pay more in my country even though there's no single employee here and they pay higher salaries in other places. What is the best strategy to convince them to pay what I think I'm worth?
