Is this situation specific to the US? Has anyone experiences in other countries?

Canada. Am regularly bombarded with recruiters, although mostly for the US market.

Also in Canada as well. I have been regularly courted by recruiters from both US (remote) and Canada.
I have started a new job a few months ago. My now former manager was trying to come up with a counter offer, but my new offer is too far off from my old compensation package.

Half and half. A pile of them are for Kaiser, so I assume that is some high turnover pit.
I haven’t been actively following up through to figure out which ones are permanently remote.

Israel is pretty hot as well now. Lots of approaches landing in my inbox, and they're good ones too. And as in the article - some haven't embraced remote, and I feel like they're losing out.

No one is reaching out in Switzerland right now, but I guess they should.

Switzerland has plenty of code written in vb/c# and tech like wpf is sought after. I highly recommend you look into that and do a few sideprojects using this “old, uncool” tech, if you want a job there. (Source: I lived and worked in CH for 6 years)

Lisbon, Portugal. Haven't seen anything like this before. Anyone going through some frontend bootcamp will be hired immediately with much higher salaries than any comparable job with the same barrier to entry.

New Zealand, with our borders closed my company has had multiple job ads open for intermediate/senior developers for over a year.
Every candidate we do interview, generally also has multiple other job offers.

The immigrant supply is cutoff and there is upward pressure on wages but employers are not panicking yet. Just grumbling that usual pay is not attracting good enough candidates.
Plenty of places have not increased wages yet and interview process seems around the same.

+1. I’ve been hearing grumbling for a while now but as far as i can tell the offer increase has been largely symbolic. Most companies are either in denial still or planning on waiting it out
