Most reasonable advice I've seen under this post. Having graduated in 2025 I've experienced the horror of competing with infinitely many third worlders in my small country, who will gladly take 1/3 my pay and be serfs. I really hope we get another hiring boom like in 2020 when I decided to study CS. Otherwise my career will be very rough. I love it and can't imagine doing anything else.

awwww…… so cute…… who would have guessed when first world were enjoying their heyday as they were colonizing the world, and teaching everyone and their mother to learn English. Kinda sad now you have to compete with serfs from thirls world. chu chu chu. so cute. shouldn’t have robbed others then. a richer world for you comes at poorer world for someone. we are playing infinite game in finite world.

    say that to visa laws that were designed by your ancestors that carry around the world. Say the same to currency arbitrage, freedom of mobility and everything that you enjoy for granted in protected walls. The reason remote worker can out compete you is because of this currency arbitrage you designed. Your pennies goes a long way in this so called third world. Your one day dinner at nice place is a months salary for family of 4. Seriously, if you can’t compete globally, then you don’t deserve your privilege of being born in rich world. Stop labelling other humans as serf when your entire wealth was built on shaky foundations. You == not you the person, but the government and laws.

      Once again *I* didn't design and of it. Leftists don't like hearing that. The fix would be obviously to control and limit foreign workers by regulating companies.

  very compelling. do the nations that never participated in colonization -- such as Switzerland, for example -- get exemption, or is the blood guilt shared among all wh*te people?

> Having graduated in 2025 I've experienced the horror of competing with infinitely many third worlders in my small country, who will gladly take 1/3 my pay and be serfs You should really read up on disruptive innovation. Many of those who you call "serfs" who'll "take 1/3rd of my pay" will tomorrow establish themselves, justify their presence, and move up the wage/income scale, while you'll be left complaining. I am from and live in a third-world country and have spent some time in a first-world one. I've seen the ETH Zurich tag open doors that I didn't even know existed. If you aren't leveraging your passport, your education and your network to reach a place where you don't need to worry about "serfs", then you're doing something seriously wrong. What you have, compared to the competition you denigrate, is invaluable, making best use of it is your job.
