I definitely agree with this. In addition to WFH, consumer-grade Zoom/Meet/etc. got good enough right around the pandemic (just before really) where it made off shoring really feasible. I've especially seen an explosion of offshoring to Latin American and Eastern Europe. The time zones make things much more workable than, say, India or China.

Yep. My previous company almost exclusively hires in Latin and South America now. The interesting thing to me is that it hasn't affected the executives themselves yet. If employees from one region work just as well as employees from another for other roles (or at least cost to performance is favorable), then it seems hypocritical and counterproductive for them to insist on US-based execs. The vindictive part of me hopes that it catches up with them next.
