Option A? Identical salaries regardless of location? That's just asking for a mutiny on your hands. No way, Jose!

I remember a case study where they tried to implement a global pay structure, and it failed because they didn't consider local markets. So, B sounds right to me.

I’m leaning towards B as well, but I wonder if there are cases where companies might ignore local conditions. That seems risky though.

I feel like A could be tempting, but it seems unrealistic to pay everyone the same. I recall a practice question that emphasized local adjustments.

Option D seems too limiting. You'd want to have some flexibility to adjust based on specific role requirements, right? I think B captures the right balance.

Definitely not option A - that would be way too rigid and likely uncompetitive in many locations. And ignoring local conditions is just asking for trouble, so C is out.
