In my company, we only have a few U.S.-based regions that more or less amount to SF, NYC, and the rest of the U.S. for salary adjustment. There is a base rate that stays the same regardless of location and then there is a market adjustment for those special cases. In my experience, the base salary is high enough where you could comfortably live in 90+% of the country and feel good about your comp.
