Are there many people involved in follow the sun support or SRE roles there? I know my company only has an engineering presence in Aus and Japan because of the large coverage gap between the US west coast and the EU. Seems like low wages + native English* could be a nice win for companies.
* For some definitions of native. I've had to work as a translator for a Kiwi and an American, both native English speakers.

- te_chris 1y agoIt's a slightly weird one, but Octopus Energy (UK) have setup a new utility in NZ and it also covers off-hours support.
