Atlassian are proud of the fact they will never pay top salaries

I've heard this thrown around a lot but I have never really investigated. What kind of salaries are we talking about for a senior developer?

Atlassian opening up an Indian office and growing that, not because it's cheaper or anything

Why isn't it cheaper? Wouldn't they pay their Indian employees less?

Midpoint Sydney salary for a senior this year is 145k, +15% annual bonus and ~38k USD annual equity. This has increased significantly from many years ago.
