Because after paying his taxes and his cost of living, this full-time person makes way less than the guy doing the same job from the Ukraine. Therefore, everybody with just even half a brain will do the math and will not be available for sitting in his office. They'll put up their own office on some sunny beach in Guatemala and log in from there. Don't tell me it is not true, because that is what I have been doing for the last 10 years.
- Swizec 11y agoOh I know it's true. I did it for years. But then I hit a glass ceiling when I wanted to charge SF rates, but do the independent thing. Nobody wanted to pay for that. So now I'm sitting in a SF company, charging SF rates, and building my positive signals so that I can eventually go back to the independent thing and keep charging SF rates. I'm only 28, plenty of time :)
