Well, even in Canada / UK / Australia / Germany software developer salaries are about 50% less than in America. There's nothing in terms of workforce education or productivity dictating companies should pay the American 2x more. Offshoring is difficult for small companies to do (taxes, accountants etc) but any unicorn startup has the means to do it.
- snicker7 6y agoProbably has more to do with the cost of doing business in these countries. High taxation / regulation has a real cost.
- joelbluminator 6y agoI think there was no real need to cut on costs for a lot of companies. If every startup can raise 100-200 million easily because of these very low interest rates, why would they care about trying to save 10 million dollars a year in wages? Money is not a problem for them. Who needed the headache of working remote, offshoring etc? But now that some of them were forced to go remote and they saw productivity wasn't hurt, arguably maybe even improved (up for debate of course), they might rethink the whole issue.
