It could be because of remote work.

Why should a company pay you $250k+ when they can hire someone from Philippines for $25k (10x less money) or less?

I'm not saying this is a good thing but simply the reality. I've applied to a few remote positions recently and have been offered peanuts for salary because of my 3rd world country citizenship. And as far as I know, my work is indistinguishable from that of silicon valley engineers.

Companies like Turing are advertising to engineers living in 3rd world countries because their clients want top talent for less money.
