    The part of this discussion that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me yet is that largely, the tech jobs that are in play here can be done anywhere. FAANG + Microsoft can and do hire hundreds of thousands of people anywhere in the world.

    Management doesn’t want to live in India. That’s pretty much the whole of it.

    If you off-shore the management too you: (a) piss off your US management / director class, and (b) wind up asking for things that get delivered wildly incorrectly because people in other cultures will just yes you to death, produce non-sense, not care, and later whistle over to the next contract and do the same.
