Offshoring has been happening for a while now. The results haven’t been so good that there will be an increase in the next decade.

Many people seem to forget that talent always comes at a cost.

Offshoring wages and management have traditionally militated against quality parity. Cutting costs 75% is just a set up for failure in that regard. On the other hand, cutting only 20% or 30% you will find a lot of leetcoders on other continents.

We aren't talking about top surgeons or airline pilots who need access to rare equipment, simulators, and hands-on training. We are talking about people who need to train by leetcoding on a 12 year-old laptop in a dank basement with a 3G phone hotspot
