Once your FAANG company realises your they can hire someone who "works from home" for 5 figures instead of 7 figures, thanks to a modest cost of living in their different country, you are in real trouble.
- LegitShady 3y agothey can already do that.
- iwontberude 3y agoYeah I was going to say that ship sailed several years ago at least.
- ctrw 3y agoI heard that in the 1990s. Yet all the cheap Indians who were meant to eat my lunch are now expensive Indians I have lunch with.

- sokoloff 3y agoClick the timestamp on it, then you can favorite it (or at that point bookmark it).
- Modified3019 3y agoClick the timestamp (“x minutes ago”), there are more options under that.
- acdha 3y agoI largely agree but would note that one thing which killed a lot of outsourcing projects were timeline and language barriers. If you’re in, say, Pacific time there’s still a lot of room to go down from Bay Area salaries while avoiding both of those problems. I think we’re about to see the largest experiment yet of how well people can really run remote development projects.
- quickthrower2 3y agoNot sure. You wont get the best people by being cheap. If FAANGs are making monstrous profit they don’t want to rock the talent boat. If you have a company making crazy profit and the people making that happen get paid 5 figures those people just leave and get YC to pay 6 figures for a small slice of their next idea.
