Somewhat, but I suspect that it’s not as bad as it may seem.
The pandemic made it clear that there are naturally forming windows of better collaboration around longitudinal time zones. Outside of +/- 2 time zones becomes fairly difficult on a regular basis. West coast to East coast is difficult.
For Americans, there may be some interesting competition coming out Mexico and perhaps a few of the more advanced countries of South America like Brazil and Argentina.
For Europeans I would expect the same from Africa, from countries like South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, etc.
But once you are outside of +/- 2 time zones you either need one side to shift schedules or have zone local orgs.
At that point it’s less about remote work and more about outsourcing. We already know what outsourcing looks like, and it’s very different from remote work.
Bottom line, I do expect to see increased competition for remote jobs, but for the good roles that matter the competition is not truly global.
