I think about this question daily, if the current trend continues, it will be nigh impossible for local companies/industries to compete - particularly technical talent like developers and designers; It's like why would you work for less with inflexible hours and lots of stress when there's tons of border-less options with flexible hours and better pay. What does the future hold for local companies? Can they reverse this?
As remote work becomes the new standard across many industries, especially digital-first industries, borders are disappearing as companies from around the globe can now hire African talent. These companies can often offer renumeration far above their African counterparts. Is there anyway for these African companies to compete?

You are right...however African companies need to see talent attraction and retention beyond just the pay cheque but the entire employee experience from culture to development opportunities and other areas like employee wellbeing, diversity, long term rewards like shares option, etc.

Insights for you.
