Your work was never worth that much. I pay people 1/4 of Bay Area rates who are just as good and live better in a more obscure location. The downside was there aren’t enough people, but remote addresses a lot of that. The big salaries and localization are about control, especially with investors. Talent follows the jobs, and we are in a consolidation cycle. IBM successfully ran significant technology centers in obscure places like Minnesota, Binghamton, NY and Vermont for decades. |

That's a big assumption! Wouldn't that imply there are software engineers who don't work in their field because they can't find work where they live? It's safe to say that most already relocate to where the money or work is.
