  Yes, so if you pay in the top 90% in a country you get top 90% of the talent. The problem with “off shoring” is that’s how it is treated. Remote work, where people become part of your team and work with everyone else is quite different and avoids the failure cases you have likely seen. It’s hardly controversial to say that a huge chunk of Silicon Valley talent is from migrants. So clearly the training overseas is up to scratch.

I believe this is the point everyone is missing. And this is new. Giant companies never did this sort of thing really. It was always the low effort outsourcing approaches I was seeing in these markets. Today I'm now competing with IBM and the ilk in these markets for direct employees. The tides are shifting extremely rapidly and I don't think many in the US even understand what has happened underneath them in the past few years.
