Was skeptical when I read the title but that's actually not too bad. Makes a lot of sense to educate people with information relevant to them.

Do you think, for remote companies the geographical location of the employees/contractors should play a key factor in the compensation?

I really like the content then I realized that the lecturer is an ex-CEO of Wealthfront (one of the earliest Robo-advisory company). That totally makes sense considering the practical advices (instead of theoretical discussions) in the course.

Arbitrage is as old as Humans.

Companies will try it. Workers will push for arbitrage-free pricing. It's just business as it always was.

Assuming you are just asking the crowd here:

I don’t really think “should” comes up in those discussions. Companies pay as little as they can get away with, restricted by the need to retain talent.

People in higher cost of living areas will probably end up with higher salaries in general because, for a given level of financial wellbeing, they need a higher salary. So they’ll be more incentivized to do more things that result in higher salaries: move jobs, go for promotions, negotiate more, etc.
