Don't you think if those FAANG companies could offshore those jobs they would have already? You think they keep them in SV because they love paying some Javascript guy more than a dentist just so he can afford rent? Please.
As the pay rises, the tendency and pressure to offshore increases. It will start slowly, but as more competitors do it, will accelerate.
