I got an offer from Spotify and at first, I understood the base compensation was in dollars. The recruiter then asked me how much I made in my current job in my local currency and I told her. She assured me this would not impact my offer. Today she called me again and said the base compensation will be paid in my local currency. When compared to my current salary, that makes the offer almost insulting. Does spotify pay based on location? The main reason why I thought about applying was because I wanted to earn in US dollars.

Your location?
I'm currently outside the US.
Just say what country bro. Not that hard. Can’t help if you won’t provide info.
As far as I remember, Spotify (along with a few other companies such as Reddit) does not change pay based on your location. At least in the US, anyway. As a side note, never, EVER tell a recruiter how much you currently make. They are not your friend. The only reason they would be asking is to low-ball you. Even so, I'm surprised the offer came in at that much lower than your current salary, but I also don't know where you're located, and I'm not familiar with Spotify salaries outside the US. Maybe somebody else can shed some light on that.
They absolutely pay based on location. Unfortunately, revealing your salary to the recruiter really put you in a bind. Your best bet is to get a competing offer to get that comp up
I'm a little unclear based on what you said. Did they say " the salary will be the equivalent of 42,000 USD, paid in your local currency"? Or, did they say " oh yeah, we said xxx, but we meant xxx [your local currency], not xxx usd."
It was " oh yeah, we said xxx, but we meant xxx [your local currency], not xxx usd."
xxx in my local currency is peanuts for my level of experience (6 YOE)
Pay is based on the country you’re in
Pay is based on your location. If you’re in the US, they do not discriminate based on locale. But even if you xfer from the US to any other country (eg. in the EU) you would take a pay cut to match that country’s band.
It’s based on location (country)
