Ehhh... Have been hearing some variation of this for 20 years. Canada and Singapore already have some tech presence (Singapore is huge for banking), so I don't think those are a particularly bold prediction. I would love for the Caribbean to become a thing but it seems less likely given the issues with governmental stability and severe weather. Just observing the companies I've worked for, I've also seen it's much easier to get hired for an on-prem job and transition to remote after proving your capabilities than to get hired fully remote from the start (minus the past 18 months). I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the result is many current U.S. residents moving to those destinations, moreso than locals being hired remotely.

The pandemic (finally) forced most companies to handle remote work, but remotely onboarding new employees is still terrible at most places. What you've described will become common. Start a job in the flesh, get trained up and productive, then you're free to move. It will probably be harder for you to get promoted if you're working remotely, but you'll also be providing less value because you won't be there to help bring the new hires up to speed. Companies that learn to onboard new employees remotely from the outset, efficiently and effectively, will have a monstrous competitive advantage in the coming years.
