Well, they should go right ahead and hire people at low COL locations if that works out. Most companies will not go outside the country for that, because if they could, they already would have.. A lot of contracts require US citizens working on it.

My industry is actively moving these types of jobs overseas. By identifying that your job could be remote, I think you are self-selecting to have your job outsourced. My employer isn’t currently rly doubt this but that could change with a change in ownership and/or economic circumstances.

Corporations have been moving any jobs they can overseas for a long time now. WFH if anything accelerated a process that's been ongoing for years. I don't think that WFH is to blame.

I’m telling you what I am currently seeing in my industry. Jobs had NEVER been outsourced in the past. And now those who self-identify as being able to WFH are the very careers that other competitors of mine are now outsourcing. Could it be a complete coincidence? Sure. Would I be volunteering that my job can be done anywhere? Heck no. Especially if I am a young person.
