- newobj 9y agoPeople in "offshored-to countries" are making ~$15USD/hr ... if you are making this anywhere in the primary market for doing code work, you're getting massively^3 underpaid ... nevermind NYC
- user5994461 9y agoI'm not sure you can get offshore work done for so little. Maybe that was possible up to a decade ago.
- newobj 9y agoSure, I was being conservative. Point being that $15/hr in the US is just basically a complete screw-job.
- user5994461 9y agoPoint being that $15/h oversea is a complete screw job as well.
- _Tev 9y agoFrankly you have no idea about wages in the world outside of your country. $15/h is ok for dev in my country, maybe not the most experienced one but still ok. And WE are offshoring a lot of the programming jobs to countries with much worse pay.
- heyoni 9y agoThey said it would be like that for 3 months and if they were satisfied they would make me an offer...but they would not say what the salary range was! I almost took it just to get my foot in the door but decided I could do better with 3 months of polishing up my portfolio.
