Interesting policy move happening in Southeast Asia—one country is raising the salary baseline for foreign executive talent to $4,900 monthly. This kind of wage floor adjustment typically signals efforts to attract high-level expertise while managing local workforce dynamics. For the Web3 and tech sectors operating across emerging markets, these regulatory shifts on expat compensation can reshape hiring strategies and operational costs. Worth monitoring how other regional hubs respond to similar talent acquisition benchmarks.

This move in Southeast Asia... a $4,900 monthly salary threshold. On the bright side, it's attracting talent; on the less favorable side, it's essentially a covert way to increase costs.
People in Web3 are already doing the math—will the migration costs be even higher?

This move in Southeast Asia is quite interesting; the $4,900 baseline is actually about seizing the opportunity for Web3 talent.

Starting at $4,900? This is effectively raising the threshold. Middle-tier workers are about to cry.

Whoa, $4900? Are they recruiting people or screening people...
