So here’s why salary transparency isn’t going to fly with location agnosticism. Employers will price remote anywhere jobs so that they can only be done in countries with lower cost-of-living. This will lead to job flight for any kind of work which can be done remotely. As OP says, ‘
small, stable countries with favourable timezones’ have a once in a century opportunity. It should mean a more equitable world though - and a moral test for those of us in the global north as to whether we walk the talk when it comes to global DEI.
