OBBBA act made hiring non-US people for dev role virtually impossible from tax standpoint. Plus there are too many "overemployment" scammers and employers woke up to that.

that's the main reason for usa. but working at us startups is still not affected much ig. however you need a physical presence.

btw, usa OBBBA act, impacted UK remote jobs as well.

Yes, you're right. Also with the rise of AI, people are using AI tools to solve small problems and build projects on their own rather than hiring someone to do the work for them.

Agreed. But I'm mostly referring to seeded startups or organizations.
