See this is the thing that really confuses me about this whole kerfuffle.
The more we collectively push for remote work, the more likely it becomes that our compensation takes a huge nosedive. Engineers in Brazil or El Salvador will LOVE working at even 30% of total FAANG comp (while enjoying fewer worker's rights and fewer benefits), and they are by and large technically competent.
This whole thread has a very "I got mine" vibe to it.
