I'm sorry for your job loss.
Do you know how many companies had to scramble in 2020 to get things like chat tools, laptops, video calls and VPNs up?

An utter crap ton. For everyone that did so, they just removed an IT barrier to outsourcing that they'd been uninterested investing in for the previous decade, because expense. Many of these companies also believed you needed to be in the office to do work, and now saw evidence that wasn't true.

Yes there was outsourcing before, amount of companies willing to take that path and the roles they considered for it opened up significantly post pandemic.
