I don't think so. Most wealthy countries don't have jobs paying anything close to what Americans make. When you're talking about tech, the division is really just between America and everyone else. This is going to be really great for Canadians who don't want to immigrate to the states since there's almost no difference in talent, culture, or time zone compared to the USA but wages are about half as much at the top end.

- DC1350 6y agoThere are lots of good reasons not to outsource to a third world country, but not many reasons to hire a remote American over a remote Canadian if a company already has a presence in Canada.
