They’re all already doing this and doing it more will go unnoticed

Yeah kinda hard to see companies being more aggressive than they already are about outsourcing. I know companies that fired their entire tech org from the CTO down and moved it to India.

When I was looking for work early this year I was told that most of the Google NYC roles were listed for internal transfers and that most of the actual hiring was in Warsaw (with 1000s of open roles, which I was told by Google recruiters at a conference in Europe)

This is true for most SV tech companies with multiple offices (including nyc) because there are a shitload of men trying to move out of SF.

Post-pandemic most single men in Silicon Valley have realized that the region is terrible for anything but settling down with a family.

If someone is transferring from SF to NYC they wouldn't have to advertise the position. I think the OP is referring to transferring people into the country on L1.

I was told that they were actually required to list them even if it’s someone transferring internally.

It was for a few specific ML research roles that I was interested in, of which there were very few in NYC and during the interview process I was told that they would go to internal candidates
