> but I’d like to see more examples from non-Anglo countries (maybe South Korea or Singapore or UAE)

UAE and Singapore will most likely see a spike - Chinese and Indian companies expanded temporary hiring and postings in those geos, along with moving HQs in order to access western financial markets.

Sure, but CoL is lower, career progression is better, you are closer to your family, and you don't face culture shock in a country with a small Asian community. And these are white collar jobs we are talking about.

The US still has some pull factor due to high salaries and large diaspora communities, but that is fading as immigration has become much more complex and domestic options are getting better.

If you want to start a startup, ironically it's easier to raise in China or India compared to Germany now because of larger capital markets and better linkages with financial hubs like Singapore, London, UAE, etc.
