    This just isn’t true. If it were, there wouldn’t be many office jobs period in first world countries. They would all be run by people in Bangladesh or the Philippines working 24 hours per day.

    Think about it: India has a large population of native English speakers. The top 10% of educated people are about 100 million smart college graduates. Why haven’t they replaced everyone in US offices?

    First, culture / time zones are an issue. Second, most of the smart people have options to move to more expensive cities in first world countries. The same thing happens in Texas or Alabama. Smart people leave and move to more expensive cities. So if you want to hire them, you have to pay them more money. As a business, you will usually get what you pay for.
