Decided not to accept any role that is not 100% remote. Having said that, I did reduce my rate by 10% to remain competitive.Leave a comment:

If an offshore resource is 10 times cheaper than an onshore resource, but takes 15 times longer to get the work done it doesn't work out cheap by any means. Factor in amount of rework and it becomes fantastically expensive. What so many companies fail to understand is that your IT systems are your business. I was working for a client of Satyam when that went down the tubes. Highly entertaining watching senior executives running around like headless chickens "Who's looking after our systems?! Who's got our data?!"
I've been at the sharp end of offshoring and nearshoring for 20 years. I've worked with the beggers on the ground. I've also spent time with the offshore workers - I know what goes on.
.
For one project I was running a team of ~5 such guys - $20/hr level mostly not $5 doing the design and architecture and integration stuff while they churned out pretty good code day after day.
The other point is that the good ones are only $15/20/hr for a while. Sooner or later they either get snapped up by some company, or jump up to $50/hr based on the reputation their work gives them.

The roles I get approached for from Financial Institutions insist on in-person though. Sorry can't do that. I am happy with smaller clients (compared to IB's) like my current gig. Non-toxic, good balance and focusing on resolving issues rather than finger pointing.Leave a comment:
