> Remote work hasn't taken off on a large scale

Which is fortunate for any US or European citizen who hopes to ever find employment again.

I'm not worried with the competition from abroad.

Culture is an issue (both from the contractor and the hiring sides), quality is another (in some places).

> culture is an issue

maybe in theory, but every company I've ever even heard of has been more than happy to throw together almost any random group of people regardless of culture (or even language) as long as they had the right credentials and expect for culture issues to sort themselves out and good quality to appear. But if consistent culture is the important thing... it's a lot easier to find a homogeneous culture in Hyderabad, India than it is in San Francisco, CA (of all places).

Even with remote work, cultural barriers are still an issue.
