Well there’s a reason why firms are engaging in more aggressive offshoring.

There’s also a point where if you need a remote job done and an American wants 2x the salary of a European to do the job….and way more than that of an Indian well it makes sense just to hire multiple people overseas even if you lose some of the benefits of having them onshore.

Honestly, these jobs are likely paying far more than 2x Europeans. Tech salaries in America are at least 2x Canada, they can often be 3-4x many European countries. When you include stock grants, perks, etc, these are damn expensive employees.
