I am not talking about western standards. I am talking about the standards of whatever developing/newly industrialized country the expat is in (e.g. China, Thailand, India, etc).
And in the case of remote vs. not remote. There are now way more educated locals in a country than there was in the past. Many of them can do what an expat can for less money.
There aren't enough embassy kids to fill out all the international schools that currently exist (even just the Tier 1 IS).
