Decades ago when offshoring started, the best available technology were crappy VoIP phones and expensive videoconference technology.
Now any low tier laptop with zoom will give you a proper videoconferencing experience, infrastructure is all cloud based, there are 10x more fiber cables connecting the planet, there are lots of well documented open source projects for almost everything, and for learning there is youtube and MOOCs.
Also, foreign schools are getting better, and many alumni of offshored companies are now founders. The silicon valley model of financing is being replicated abroad too.
Believe me when I tell you: the castle walls are falling apart and soon wages will go down.
