I generally find Microsoft to be talentless regardless of the location.

Full disclosure: long MSFT.

Generally I would rather them offshore talent than bring in foreign workers to our soil. I would make an exception for the actual exceptional people we need for jobs but not for the run of the mill developers or whatever we seem to be bringing in by the truckload.

I entirely agree. They are looking at many countries like those in Latin America, to hire cheaper labor there either vis local subsidiaries or local outsourcing/consulting firms

All you have to do is go look at their active GitHub projects. Azure projects, etc.. Take a look at who is doing the work and where they live.

Yup.

Ya big tech firms are hiring like crazy in Canada but mostly offshore talent not local talent

As a card-carrying member of the "fuck off we're full" club, excellent.

Pretty much all Big Tech already have offices in Europe, Latam, India...
