Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than facing low salaries in the city.
Answer given: Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than face low salaries in the city.
Shouldn't this be "rather than to face low salaries", i'm confused with 2 rules in parallelism.
1. Infinitives if occur in one part of the pair should be reflected in other.
i.e to run and to paly
3. Verbs derived from verbs, first word would count across all the elements
i.e they want to increase awareness, spark interest and motivate purchases.

subject verb...rather than verb
Many teachers choose xyz rather than face abc.
X rather than Y is the right idiom.
why "rather than to face" is wrong? because this parallelism gives your wrong meaning. here is how:
Many teachers choose to seek employment
Many teachers choose to face low salaries --- you don't choose to face low salaries but you face low salaries.
so it is meaningful to write "choose and face" rather than "choose to seek and choose to face".

Thank you, that's helpful 
Do you have any inputs on how to find where 'X' starts in open parallels.
i.e: X rather than Y, Like in this sentence.
If there is any method to know rather than meaning, it would be very helpful.
