It should still be strictly easier than opening up a branch in another country, which large tech companies are already doing a lot. When the gate of remote working opens, you no longer need to fix a head count with a particular location, an

Did I ever say "freedom of speech"? English is after all my second language, and I don't expect I could articulate like a native speaker. Just to make it clear, the most irritating part is that people's opions are clearl
