I tend to think that’s true, but I can’t say for sure. I do think someone working remotely while living in an ultra-low CoL place like Vietnam might come out ahead, but that has serious downsides as well, particularly if you ever want to move back to a developed country. You’ll have lived well in Vietnam but you won’t have built much wealth compared to your SF/NYC/Seattle peers.

That's somewhat a function of how much you get paid. However, leaving aside debates about remote work generally, in my experience once you get beyond five or six hour time differences, synchronous communications start to get really hard--especially if you're not willing to significantly deviate from a "normal" schedule.
