Unfortunately, like everything unbalanced in life, things will bounce back the other way around and not for the better. Instead of trying to find a middle ground which is acceptable on both side, I fear the response will be to accelerate remote working outsourcing to cheaper countries (I.e. “why bend to these whiny brats if I end up with remote workers, might as well get those at a fraction of the cost, that won’t complain”). So the only nice position that will remain local will be top talent and people managing that outsourcing. Top talent won’t be hit too much but I fear anything below will soon or later, and I see too many average DEvs thinking they are untouchable. They haven’t lived through an economic crisis yet and living pay by pay. I don’t see how this will end well in a few years from now.
