You can try that, but then why should SF/US based employees be paid more? Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and all that.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and all that.
- jbjohns 6y agoIt's not that SF/US based employees will look to be paid more it's that people in India who have comparable skills will look for compensation closer to what one gets in SF/US. Why would they accept prevailing outsourcing shop wages now that they can work directly for western companies? This change is already occurring in the circle I'm in contact with.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoIt's both. The market will find a new equilibrium somewhere below SF and above India.
- jbjohns 6y agoSurely that improves more than it hurts? I'm under the strong impression that most software developers aren't on these FAANG salaries.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoSure, as long as you don't live in SF/US. It's almost certainly going to help me, but I'm not sure I'd like it if I was based in the Valley. I'm just pointing out some of the potential consequences.
