Yup. once they find out WFM works, they will just ship the jobs overseas.
if you can do the job in BFE america, it can be done anywhere there is a internet connection in the world.
If the job could have been outsourced to overseas, it would have been done decades ago.
A lot of companies that though they could undercut workers got exactly what they paid for; low talent and less control.
I work with companies that are "insourcing"; hiring from within the United States but in an expanded area to get more talent at a reasonable price. Very few new hires are from expensive urban areas. I work with several professionals who didn't renew expensive apartment leases and instead moved farther away to where rents were more affordable, even willing to forego raises during high inflation to help their companies win contracts.

That was already happening even before Covid. Lots of software development jobs were shipped overseas. The problem is that overseas development teams are not as productive as onshore teams, even when onshore teams work from home. Both the volume and the quality of the output are sub-par. I speak from experience as a manager of both types of teams.
