Reply to comment by hulks_brother in How much is remote work worth? New York City is about to find out. by arrogant_ambassador
Remote workers will naturally be paid less though because they're competing with every other remote worker. When an employer can hire a full time developer in India for ₹700,000 a year, why would they pay someone in the States in $USD? If on the other hand what they really want is someone who'll come in to the office, they'll have to pay in accordance with the local cost of living to retain talent.

Quality
Legality of work materials requiring citizenship
Time zone coordination
Industries not present in India (say, aeronautics? Chip manufacturing? Take your pick.)
Residency requirements
Classified/cleared materials
Other federally regulated materials
Is that enough? We can keep going.

Except that most NYC agencies have any residency requirement

Oh, I was responding more to the general idea that remote workers should be compensated the same as in-person, not so much for city agencies.

In software, outsourcing usually means writing something twice and paying two sets of engineers.
”Near shoring“ is becoming a lot more common—using workers from CA/Latin America but keeping them more closely integrated with their US counterparts.

Yeah, my company does a lot of both (not "outsourcing" per se because these are employees, but certainly offshoring\near-shoring).
