The remote-work revolution has led some U.S. technology companies, from startups to Coinbase and Shopify, to seek new hires in Latin America -- where they can find qualified people in roughly the same time zone who'll work for much lower pay.
techies finally going thru their own "deindustrialization"
If you like CS, stick with CS. Fact is that it's still one of the easiest, cushiest jobs that offers the best salary to effort ratio if you have an interest and at least some competence in the field. These remote jobs aren't gonna be a threat to wages as much as you think (coordination costs are big), and job instability isn't as bad as you think.
Trust me, if you're a CS major now, you'd be in hell trying to be a nurse lmfao. If you're a STEM-brain and you're really obsessed with stability, get into power distribution/transmission engineering. We got a grid that needs fixing, just expect to get paid like shit and guilt-tripped over "service" to do it.
Power is a good way to go, there is also telecommunications and other positions that exist in utilities and government that are pretty stable and comfy for our local STEMoids
