This is exactly why I left a quantitative trading company in NYC and moved to Poland for software engineering talent. This certainly baffled my coworkers.

More and more companies will eventually recognize the talent abroad is how you want to supply your business, while the market demand you want will still remain in the U.S.

Market demand isnt going to remain in the USA if most jobs get shipped overseas

That is until those poor folks at Eastern Europe realise they can charge much more and the circle will repeat.

How about someplace in the USA that isn’t SV or NYC?

It's easy for talented people in the US to move to SV and NYC. It's a lot harder for the same kind of people abroad to move to SV and NYC.

Not all talented people want to move away from their friends and families to live in 4x price of living shitholes.
