I wish this were true
The cost for exporting work to India is not what it used to be, and quality was also below par but barely good enough. And now it’s getting even worse because good people are being poached by the gigantic number of other companies trying the same thing. It feels like the days are numbered for that country.
They need to try to capture manufacturing as it leaves China instead of Vietnam or they’re cooked. They may be cooked anyway since the easy tech work they used to farm out can be done with two sentences and AI and that’s a large portion of their economy.
My dream would be for Trump to end H1B, CPT, and OPT and then to tax remittances and actually enforce the immigration laws we have on the books. Then India would be extremely cooked. It’s insane that we allow labor arbitrage and don’t even tax and then even give tax relief (no payroll taxes on CPT/OPT) for it. We pay taxes to eliminate our own jobs. Most countries have a double digit percent of GDP that’s money being send from expats in the US. We should tax it.
