My experience is western europe, smaller cities. For 25% of SV salaries you get close enough to the local salaries. Add a language barrier (we dont speak English), a time zone barrier (I like my meetings between 8:00 and 17:00 local time), and a cultural barrier, and its simply not worth the hassle.
Outsourcing for talent is fine, but there is plenty of competition to make India rare, at least around here. So when I hear India, it's unfortunately a pretty safe assumption that someone went for bottom of the barrel cheap.
I'm not saying this is right or fair.
- rocknor 5y agoDisagree. Let's assume 25% of a graduate SV salary is $25k. That's €20k. With this salary you can only hire bottom of the barrel graduates in Portugal (cheapest country in western europe) since most graduates leave to other EU countries. With that money, in India you can get many more graduates with good English proficiency from world-class universities that are extremely hard to get into. Plus cultural barrier is overrated, if there is a barrier it's only disappearing in this internet era.
