True and now with enabling remote jobs they save even lot more money, from saving the cost of their workspaces which will be huge if we are considering a place in the US and also they don't have to offer more benefits while work from home. Maybe in future they will switch to all in temporary people like how swiggy zomato call them as partners to avoid the laws the same thing will be implemented and fire anyone at any time without giving any compensation or whatsoever.
What this all means is that hiring people to work for your company remotely has become very common for a lot of different roles. And hiring people outside of the US that will work for a fraction of what US based employees make, while at the same time saving on employee benefits, insurance, office lease, etc... well, that math just makes sense to keep doing that.
It seems inevitable that many companies will push their employees to partner or contract situations as well. We already see this in places like food delivery, and I imagine we will start to see that in tech support and probably mid level development roles soon enough. This is less stable for employees, but the benefits to companies, saving a fortune, and being able to grow/shrink their workforce as needed with no real commitment, will far outweigh that.
After covid, work from home was really promoted which created a wave of remote opportunities. Back before covid, there were hardly any remote opportunities for Indians because most of the remote jobs require employees to reside in a specific country so they can visit the office if required. Yes, there are a few job roles where visiting office is not required but yet employers would prefer hiring candidates from their own country instead of outsourcing to countries like India.
Yes, these employers can definitely save a chunk of money if they can hire Indians instead of the US citizen. But there are still some strict rules these employers need to follow so they scrutinise the applications even more carefully.
