In CEE (which is where most ICT FDI is going) it's your governments that force employers to spend $500k-$5 million on an office with at least 10-50 people in order to get tax benefits ($8,000-13,000 per employee).
Otherwise, we'd just be remote first and spend that amount of money on hiring.
But then again, we might get a better offer hiring Israelis or Indians (5-10 year tax holidays depending on the region)
It's local government that makes these incentives at the end of the day.
Anyhow, we only hire Israeli, Indian, Czech, Romanian, Pole, etc engineers because of the right mix of talent and salary arbitrage compared to American talent.
