Shift work has been a thing for decades. I would imagine hiring some percentage of your devs for the night shift wouldn’t be that hard as many people enjoy that lifestyle. Then you already cover the majority of the 24 hours with normal work
- JCharante 5y agoAdditionally there are a lot of devs who are from East Asia but started working in the US after undergrad or grad school. I'm sure there are many of them who would love to return to their home countries and work during the day time (for example, Vietnam timezone is currently a simple 12 hour difference from NYC tz). Even with a salary reduction they'd still come out ahead through lower taxes & the lower cost of living. Additionally you could still hire devs from western backgrounds. While studying abroad my cookies have led to heavy advertising from turing.com, which seems to hire overseas US devs to work remote for US companies. There's plenty of American devs in Chiang Mai working on their stealth phase startup. edit: It seems turing.com is wasting their ad budget, because they have a 4 hour overlap with US TZ requirement. Not sure why they're advertising to IP addresses coming from Asia.
