US companies are now being hoisted by their own petard.

There are not that many exploitable smart people left, even internationally. In my applied research niche they already hired internationally and the ability was rare, being high functioning autistic was basically a prerequisite. Supply dried up because these people have better options now; start ups, finance, crypto, independent scientists, more promising companies in their home countries.

It’s much easier for me to change companies than for companies to change. I’ve been remote for 7 years and will retire long before going back to an office.
