You are conveniently forgetting there is a risk factor to shipping operations overseas. There are also risks to data security. Page 7 we're on, and not yet one confirmed case of a company shifting operations overseas because of the success of remote working. The success story I linked in was one I stumbled across on the BBC yesterday. Anecdotally, I have found that job opportunities have rarely been better for me than they are now, and my field of opportunity is significantly wider as relocation is not a requirement anymore.
