For Stripe/Coinbase, 74%/89% eng hiring out of Bay Area. Today, a lot of that hiring could be happening in other parts of the US. But before you cheer too much about that, consider that the shareholders of those companies are already looking for ways to hire outside US. After all, if your setup can accommodate someone from Kansas, how hard is it to onboard someone from Canada or Mexico? A data point - my company is already hiring more than half of the new hires outside the USA. Or to paraphrase a politician, that whirring sound you are hearing is one of the last remaining sources of good jobs getting sucked out of the country.
