Aren't you trying to maximize returns for yourself when you take issue with companies hiring employees outside of your immediate vicinity? As one of those remote workers, in my opinion you'd be better off campaigning against location-based pay rather than remote work.

> you'd be better off campaigning against location-based pay rather than remote work. If there is no location-based pay and everyone across the globe has the same wages, I am afraid I will be paid far less instead of someone in the developing world being paid far more. Keep in mind that the labor pool will come from all over the world and not only from the US. If you are a remote worker in Mexico or Pakistan, it is totally rational for you to root for that outcome. However, if you are a remote worker in the US, think again. Here are some salaries from around the world and they will be your benchmark, not SV salaries: https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Berlin-Germany/ https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Berlin-Ger... https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Bangalore-India/ https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Bangalore-... https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Singapore/ https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Singapore/ For comparison: https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/San-Francisco-Bay-Area/ https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/San-Franci...
