What do you mean it’s not talked about? It was an incredibly common theme during the celebrations of remote work increases.
A: "Finally, I can work from anywhere and don't have to live in an expensive place and commute to that office every day."
B-Z: "Um, don't you think that being able to work from anywhere increases the possibility of the company to hire from anywhere as well? And that it's not guaranteed to be you or your neighbor who is hired?"
To be fair, there's also those of us in Europe splitting the difference.
Auth0 is interesting in that it kinda did this from the start - a lot of the engineering was in South America - especially Argentina (it was founded by an Argentinian after all!) and there was great talent in nearly the same time zone. I don't understand why more companies in the US don't look at Latin America for affordable engineering talent.

i can only speak for Argentina. It's because the economic situation is bad and having people on payroll there is a nightmare. Constant fluctuations of exchange rates, employees asking to be paid in USD when the only legal currency is ARS, etc.
