Job market is probably hotter outside the US now. Corona really encouraged remote, which encouraged not just outsourcing but full time remote jobs.

That's great to know. I'm in the US, so I couldn't speak to how the market operates outside, but I'm glad to hear that the markets are good across the board for engineers. Thanks for the additional info!
US is still far far ahead on salaries, companies and positions. I don't see a relevant metric that comes even close anywhere else, even w/ remote
I might have phrased that poorly. I mean plenty of jobs outside the US have greatly increased salaries in 2021, which was a ripple effect of remote work/globalization. I was looking at a 25%-160% salary increase back while I was job hunting this year.

It used to be that the biggest barrier to hiring outside a country was that it was less effective to have them work remotely 100% of the time. But now it's practically the same thing. Some companies are getting bargains, others are just using it to hire the best out of other countries.
