This is pretty much wrong, the evidence is against you, you are paying for in-location developers.
There are plenty of developers who speak great English in the EU, many natively in the UK and Australia and Canada.
Why are these not all getting heavily poached by SV?
Because SV value in-person developers, so have driven up the pay for developers in SV, but in Europe a mid-level developer is still on something like €40-50k.
- burntoutfire 6y agoRemote work from Europe for a SV company is problematic, there's practically no overlap of working time so the European workers needs to work late evening and into the night to be able to stay in touch with the team. Not that many experienced (i.e. older and with families) people are ok with that.
