I don't see how this is not already happening pre-WFH: most big tech companies have offices in Ukraine, Belarus, India, China, etc with "low cost" tech workers.

- kerbs 5y agoHas been happening since the 2000s Tech salaries still went up.
- RestlessMind 5y agoBecause a lot of talent was in office and when a majority of your team is in office and a small minority remote, that remote minority has no chance of catching up to the productivity of in-person team. Be it SV vs Atlanta or SV vs Budapest. I saw that first hand in my 15+ years in this industry. But with WFH, it is an even playing field. As long as everyone is in a similar timezone and logging in from their home and collaborating via Zoom or Slack, productivity differential vanishes. Why do you think you are seeing a sudden flood of biggish companies going fully remote now?
- voisin 5y agoLike many things Pandemic related, this isn’t creating a new trend but rather accelerating trends already under way. Push for WFH at your peril.
