I’m leaning towards option B too, but I wonder if it might complicate things with pay equity across the company.

I feel like option A could lead to issues with retention in high-cost areas, but I’m not confident about how that would play out in practice.

I remember a practice question where we discussed flat salaries versus regional bands, and it seemed like regional bands were better for attracting talent.

I think option B makes the most sense since it considers local market conditions, but I'm not entirely sure how to balance that with global equity.
