In fairness, I have the least amount of knowledge about the Norwegian market. What I said could largely apply just to Denmark and Sweden.
But it doesn't sound that far off. Managers are at home and many resources are elsewhere. An architect role is fairly senior...
Also I'm not saying all of the work is outsourced -- I should have said "that many jobs compared to US tech markets". I found lots of developer opportunities in Copenhagen when looking around -- but everyone I talked to they had bigger teams working in Spain and did most of their hiring there.
Except that most of the outsourced jobs aren't going to Barcelona in Denmark: they were going to Poland before it became too expensive then Ukraine before the war and now India.
