> Those London based devs can now easily get SV remote jobs
Is this really the case?
I have seen an increase in remote jobs. Most of these remote jobs I've seen have a requirement you are in a similar timezone to the company's offices.
Being in a similar timezone to your team is reasonable. Even though you are remote, sending a message then waiting until you start work the next day for the response, or not being able to schedule calls at convenient hours due to timezone massively impacts delivery. You can live with it, but it's not ideal.
Being stuck on the other side of the world in Australia, this is currently my problem, timezones.
There's an increasing number of remote jobs available which I'd love to do because the work no longer exists in Australia but booming in the Europe/US. However, the timezone means that companies are not interested, they want Europe/US based staff to match with there current team locations.
On the plus side, as it looks like I will leave Australia because my career has stopped and going backwards even if getting paid more, I'll have much more freedom where I can move to if this trend continues, or I hope anyway.
