I'm noticing that in SF, a ton of companies are outsourcing to Canada. Canada already pretty much destroyed the vfx industry with outsourcing. I'm curious what the future holds here.
- rchaud 8y agoAdvertising agencies have long been outsourcing work to Canadian companies. The ad/media/comms industry is highly consolidated, where a few large companies own a bunch of small agencies and move projects around. The motivation is what you'd expect; lower costs, but same time zone, English-speaking, familiar org culture. Surprised there hasn't been more of it in the tech space as yet. I keep hearing that the future of software dev is microservices, so if that allows for more remote work where teams don't have to collaborate as closely, I could see growth in development outsourcing.
