Also people are naive about offshoring - the labor that is as talented usually is able to get work/student visas. Fine for call centers or other less talented labor but those don’t even work that well.

Not to mention time zone and cultural issues - I work with a company that has all their developers in Israel - I have not doubt that they have good talent but they the time zone and holiday scheduling meant that it took over a year to deliver a solution to their client (me). Even within the U.S. most high level talent live in clusters in similarly priced areas and Covid has really accelerated that issue.

Depends on the company. Mine has entire departments , entire sites in India, and 3rd shift IT was fully deployed and managed from there for years. They actually got the meatier work because so much was done outside of US office hours. It was no brainer to have them cover 1st and 2nd shift as well.
