Being remote-first/only, where it isn't already the norm, is an inevitability for every area of our industry that doesn't require physical labor (e.g. data center work). Those companies which refuse to evolve will hemorrhage competent engineers and watch their operational costs skyrocket and their market shares shrink. 2000s era gave tech workers fairer TC, pandemic era gave us remote-only work. What do you think is next? Personally, my prediction is shorter work weeks, at or slightly above 30hrs/week for full-time status for starters (shortening the work week further will require changes made by government so we are still benefits-eligible at under 30hrs/week). My evidence: Capital One has postings for part-time software engineers roughly 30hrs/week according to the job description (for direct employment, not contractors). If a large bank and popular employer in tech is now doing it, the shift is slowly but surely in motion. #future #remotework #tech
Off-shoring en masse
Hey, I've heard this one before!
Lots of unfounded assertions. We are one recession away from employees giving up remote work.
Why would we I give up remote work due to a recession? Are you insinuating that employers will demand everyone back in the office just due to the fact that jobs are harder to find and they hold some leverage over employees? I do not see that as the case, there are benefits to employers too from remote work. Lower opex, more agile, greater pool of talent to pull from, etc...
What even is Blend lol
Who made you the gatekeeper?
More outsourcing
Remote is temporary
We may see more satalite expansion but yeah idk about full remote
Layoffs
What’s going to happen is lower TC over time. Fully remote means hiring Midwest programmers or Brazilians for half the price of Silicon Valley.

What makes so many Southeast Asians have an inferiority complex towards East Asians?
I doubt the premise of the question
Same. Human labor is forever depreciating in value. A matter of time before we are all replaced by bots and bezos and musk split the planet
