I'm a foreign (from your standpoint) remote developer working for an american company. I make average salary for a developer (in the U.S.) because my company understands that the fact that I'm working from my home in south america doesn't make me less qualified that someone working from his home in Minnesota or Florida.

My point being, skill level != physical location. My even more tl;dr: find a better company to work for.
