- gpm 6y agoBecause people will quit instead of moving, and those people have very valuable institutional knowledge.
- jaywalk 6y agoYou wouldn't move people, you'd hire Indians. (I was being sarcastic, by the way)
- somurzakov 6y agothats what Zoom does, large part of their engineering is in China
- ilaksh 6y agoYeah.. I also wonder about how some of those other Chinese companies do it.. they must somehow be able to find talent in China.. apparently.. I mean, it's amazing..I wonder if they pay them $300k I also wonder, I know there are a few big software companies in India.. how do they manage to build large operations without hiring $300k per year US engineers from the Bay Area? I wonder if there are actually some good engineers in India. Weird. I heard they were all bad. But I guess with 1.3 billion people they might have a couple of good programmers. Possibly. OR maybe the large Indian software/internet companies probably actually hire the best US engineers and just get by with them. That's probably actually it.
- ixvvqktiwl 6y agoMy guess is that most investors don't want to touch non-US companies.
