Worked in tech at a large financial - while it may be second largest by headcount, I would guess perhaps not by total number of MDs/Partners? In my experience at a similar company, the off-shore offices were not viewed as being innovative or producing the same level of value per-person. There were a lot of junior/mid-level people there, but the projects were typically being driven from the US/UK. How does that stack up with GS?

Ehhh... Have been hearing some variation of this for 20 years. Canada and Singapore already have some tech presence (Singapore is huge for banking), so I don't think those are a particularly bold prediction.

I would love for the Caribbean to become a thing but it seems less likely given the issues with governmental stability and severe weather.

Just observing the companies I've worked for, I've also seen it's much easier to get hired for an on-prem job and transition to remote after proving your capabilities than to get hired fully remote from the start (minus the past 18 months). I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the result is many current U.S. residents moving to those destinations, moreso than locals being hired remotely.
