No. Just edited to clarify that.

You need to clarify it a bit more. You're getting paid in dollars, you aren't in the US and you're using the terms location and nationality interchangeably.

A company taking location into account is very different from treating you differently based on your nationality.

I cannot be more specific otherwise my identity would be obvious. The EU is not a unified job market, and the equivalent of those $20K is a massive improvement for me.

You should have titled the post "I work remotely from Eastern Europe, FAANG are paying me a US salary but they aren't giving me a raise. What should I do?".

Not just Eastern Europe. The salaries are much lower in the UK, Germany,etc. which means anyone on this side of the pond working for the same company could end in a situation like this.

$20k raise is peanuts in US tech. If you're in it to chase the greenback, suck it up, transfer to US on L1 asap, get green card in 2-3y, get $100-200k raise on your first job hop after it.
