If you have the skills, they have the coin.
They won’t hire some react guy in X country but someone who can find compiler bugs and save them XX+ million dollars a year? Heck yeah.

With seemingly the whole world rolling out new RTO mandates, location may not have been a factor recently, but may be lately.
Unfortunately, in 95% cases location IS a factor with bigger companies.
I'm in a similar position where I'd like to do something a lot more interesting, but intersection between where the interesting companies have offices and where I'd be willing to live do not really overlap enough justify rooting up my life.
(Unless we're talking about "too good to ignore", that's a different story.)
