I've noticed from experience that IT is seen as a cost and not an investment. A bunch of costly nerds that you can easily replace by outsourcing for $5/day.
People are also not aware of the price of working with software.
I gave up doing local freelance work because I had to educate every single client that their totally custom and complicated project would cost them more than $500 and that it would probably go above $2000.
Luckily, one can still find some interesting work. You simply have to look very hard.
- antoniuschan99 9y agoI live and work in Toronto. Is the view of IT being seen as a cost an East Coast Mentality though? Stemming from the days of Arthur Rock not being able to get any investment money in New York. The West Coast has always been more of a 'dream land', where even far fetched ideas could see the light of day vs. here in the East Coast. On another note, I heard rumours that the Liberal Government may tax small corporations (up to $300k a year) as much as personal income?
