How much is the average pay for a junior developer in US? Its definitely much costlier considering PF and other benefits. Just the math. if you use it efficiently it's much cheaper than hiring a permanent staff. You can maintain a lean team and do all the mundane boilerplate coding with AI.

Why keep stuff in US when offshore costs so much less?

Talent and skill is for sure not the reason, coz biggest names now seem to all be immigrants.
