i think worldwide tech salaries may equalize pretty fast--doesn't make sense for companies to pay differently for the same work depending on where people live if everyone is remote anyway--and its going to have some pretty interesting effects

Couldn’t agree more. This won’t work because the example is always employee moving to a less expensive cost of living. But companies don’t want to pay higher for someone voluntarily moving to a more expensive city. Can’t have it only one way, we pay anchored to our HQ city.

Much depends on which labour standards prevail.

Though research has confirmed remote work is generally inferior, so maybe that should accounted for, I’m not sure to what degree

Yes $50k in India can buy you lots of things compared to USA

I can tell you from experience the big obstacle here is not technical capability but language barrier. Like it or not most companies hiring are operating in English. Moderately talented Indian engineer who is fluent in English > Exceptional Indian engineer who is okay at English

pay - cost of living == same --- this can happen
