Any job doable remotely can be done overseas for less
This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.
- Pay, and you hold it.
- Anyone can dethrone you for more.
- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
Offshoring has been available for decades, and the cheap seats filled long ago. What stayed is work that depends on things a video call cannot ship: liability under local law, and a client who wants someone reachable at four in the afternoon. Coordination costs money. Rework by a manager paid domestic rates erases the saving. Price follows accountability, and accountability sits where the contract is enforceable.
