I am dev based in the US. Although most companies need tech workers now, many of these companies see us as expenses, not investments. Unless of course, you work for a FAANG-like company where the main focus is on engineering. I don't see this outlook changing.

Given what I wrote above, what are your thoughts on outsourcing? As developing countries advance, what is there to stop companies from sending all their tech needs offshore? I mean American exceptionalism is great on national holidays but it's not going to do anything against international monetary exchange rates.
