> Tech pay is sky high because US is overvaluing US talent This statement feels like it requires a lot of justification. I work for a large company, we are happy to hire out of Europe, SA, or anywhere else so long as they can work on their team's time zone. We are willing to beat basically any offer you'd imagine getting in those areas and hiring is still hard, qualified and experienced people are a rarity. When thinking about "overvaluing talent" it's worth remembering that just 5 years ago the big tech companies actively conspired to keep pay down because margins on developers making 120-150k were just insanely high[0].
