as skype/telecommuting evolve there's an incredible arbitrage opportunity here without even going offshore.
- krosaen 16y agoanecdotally, you can pull this off if you have worked somewhere for a while on location and then go remote, but going for the full salary from a remote location from the get go, not sure.
- smackfu 16y agoYeah, I've seen this where someone goes from in-office to work-at-home locally to work-at-home distant, and there was no salary cut at any point. OTOH, the multiplier for our company for NYC is not 40%.
- mcknz 16y agoOn the other side, NYC companies will look for remote workers in the midwest to save money. Consulting companies can charge NYC rates with an Indiana overhead. Midwest is the new offshore.
