The cost of hiring good talent (whether remote or on-site) will always be the same. Companies (tech and non-tech) and government facilities have tried to hire cheap labor to replace more experienced workers for many decades. The result is usually the same with a few exceptions: poor work which has to be refactored, re-worked, or completely thrown out. Usually underpaid employees have no incentive to do anything more than what's assigned to them. The old adage comes true: "you get what you pay for."
In the end the employer has to deal with a shitty product and in the end hire the right talent to get the job done (which they should have done in the first place).
- michannne 6y agoAgreed. It's actually amazing how often I've seen a company truly believe that the lower wages they pay to offshore workers has no impact on the quality of the product, only for the truly diminished nature to become apparent after some time. That's not to say all offshore workers are bad, of course. Just that, just because you can hire an Eastern European for half the price doesn't mean they will produce the same quality work as the other people who were more expensive.
