To be fair; the pressure to use office space again helps US workers. A lot of us don’t like it, but it’s a fair bit better than someone in Guatemala getting your job.
(Better for the US engineers, not for the Guatemalan, who is probably a competent engineer himself. But the topic is the outlook for US engineers).
When combined with:
- Pressure to make use of office spaces again, away from remote work
- The AI bubble
- The layoffs that started before section 174 that demonstrated how headcounts had inflated
- The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank last year
... it is not looking good for software engineers in the US.
