One thing I've felt is that there are lot of freelance developers in India, both good and bad ones. Most of them say "Yes" to everything but only few of them have the capability to do what we need. When I posted a simple task on Upwork recently (related to AWS server configuration), I got 100s of requests, mostly from Indians. Now the problems are 1) I'm looking for a freelancer, not an agency. Most of them are pitching on behalf of their own agency, and we will never know who is actually doing the work. (They might even outsource it) [This is the worst part] 2) Some of them won't even read the work description properly, and so we need to spend a lot of time filtering the requests. I got confused and skeptical about their capabilities because of all these and finally hired a freelancer from Europe. But I've seen amazingly talented freelancers from India as well. It's just that, filtering through 100s of requests is painful.
